Who judges the Awards?

Each award for Excellence has a different judging panel, comprising of industry experts in that specific field and external experts.

How are the Awards judged?

The awards are judged on a numerical basis, with the campaign, individual and team awarded the highest score, being the winner.

What happens if a judge is a service provider of our fund?

Judges are required to sign a Confidentiality Agreement that they will not disclose any information regarding entries or nominations.

In the event that a judge on a particular panel has a business relationship with your fund, they will refrain from judging that specific nomination and the other judges scores will be added together and amortised to give a final score. For example if scores from Judge 1 was 90% and Judge 2 was 94%, these would be tallied and equal 184%, and then divided, which would give a score of 92% for the third judge.

Why should our fund lodge an entry in the Communication Awards for Excellence?

As an organisation, you have the opportunity to have your communication project independently judged as the best of the best - which is a huge accolade. You get to receive this award in the company of the best. Winners of the Communication Awards for Excellence will be presented with individual plaques commemorating their achievements.
