Semi finalists



Our Awards judges represent the very best of the profession, and its ecosystem. All our judges give up their time to pore over the entries, across a three-stage process.

We appoint an independent panel of judges each year, comprised of accredited professionals. The panel is carefully selected through a fair and objective selection process and includes experts from across the profession. The judges are bound by a strict confidentiality agreement and are required to declare any conflict of interest in entries over which they deliberate and to stand aside from deliberations concerning those entries. Judges give their time voluntarily to judge the awards.

The make-up of our judging panel changes from year to year, reflecting the ever-evolving nature of the industry itself. Our closely vetted panel comes together on the yearly judging day for lively debates on our hotly contested categories ensuring each entry is vetted against our strict criteria and high standards.

Our Process


JUDGING PROCESS
Our aim is to provide a robust and transparent judging process that provides clarity and confidence to all involved.
 
What happens to your entry?
 
STEP 1: Entries are submitted. In order to be in with a chance of being shortlisted, you must answer all of the questions on the entry form.
 
STEP 2: Entries are checked by an independent awards team to ensure they have met all the entry criteria, all questions have been answered and images submitted. After this secret shopper checks may be used to ensure factual information given in the entry is correct.
 
STEP 3: All entries that pass stages 1 and 2 will be open for review by category judges. All judging is carried out independently and confidentially via our online portal. Judges will review and select up to six finalist within their category, awarding entries one to six points and detailed reasoning for their top three choices.
 
STEP 4: Once all judges have completed reviewing entries, scores across all categories are collated to conclude a set of finalists per category.
 
STEP 5: Finalists will be notified by email, and the winners are announced at the Bridal Buyer Awards ceremony on the 14th September 2020.
