How we keep judging fair
Your submission is king. The entry you write, and the evidence you attach, is what is judged.
- It is free to nominate and submit an entry. Awards night attendance requires a ticket; no membership is required. Purchase awards night tickets.
- You can start an entry yourself, or be nominated by someone else. Both routes lead to the same submission and are judged identically.
- Judging is AI-assisted so the published criteria are applied consistently to every submission, with awards administrators reviewing results before anything is finalised.
- AI-assisted writing is neither rewarded nor penalised. What matters is substance, demonstrated results, specificity, evidence and verifiability.
- Material claims may be checked against submitted evidence and independent sources where available.
- Commercial relationships, partnerships, advertising, membership and ticket purchases have no influence on scores or finalist and winner selection. Tickets are only for attending the event and are not required to become a finalist.
