The jury will be looking for evidence of:

• Clear strategic thinking
• Creativity and innovation
• Tangible results and outcomes

After the panel has carried out their pre-judging, the judges will meet to discuss the entries and decide on the finalists, commendations, and award winners. The judge's decision is final, and they also reserve the right to move your entry into a category if they feel the project is better suited elsewhere.

After the final deadline, the judging panel will sign an NDA before they are given access to read your submission and view your images, videos, and links. The judges will see all information submitted and everything uploaded under the "for judges eyes only" will remain confidential during and after judging.
