All submissions from our excellence awardees are forwarded to the independent judging panel comprising industry leaders and senior representatives. The panel will assess and vote for their winners in each category according to the relevant category criteria.
 
Voting will commence in August 2024 and their judgment will be impartial, balanced, incisive and fair.
 
Any judge with a conflict of interest in category will recuse themselves from judging that category.
