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.
