Judging process
Who are the judges?
The Corporate & Financial Awards is judged by a broad range of in-house industry experts. Each year we invite the previous year’s winners of the ‘In-house corporate and financial communications team’, ‘Agency or consultancy of the year’ and ‘Annual report of the year’ awards to join the panel and these judges fill the agency slots.
How does the judging system work?
Scoring is based on a points system and the judges submit these scores anonymously. The judges mark the entries against the criteria mentioned within the entry and information guide: Objective, Strategy and implementation, Creativity and innovation, Functionality and accessibility (for corporate website or online annual report) and Results.
Our judging system is rigorous and fair. If a judge has entered a specific category they will be exempt from reviewing that category, to avoid a conflict of interest.
Winners are determined by the scores they receive and the entries that score high enough will be shortlisted, invited to attend the awards ceremony and awarded with a trophy. We also provide detailed feedback on agencies’ work after the awards evening, which proves useful for future entries.
