Meet the judges

 

The judging process and criteria

Each submission will be forwarded to the entire judging panel; the panel consist of independant industry experts.
All categories are awarded based on the decision of an independent panel of judges. They determine their decision purely on the basis of the submission from the entrant or nominee.

If an instance occurs where a judge is also a representative of a nominated company or has a relationship with a nominated company which may affect their ability to be impartial, that particular judge will not submit scores for that category.

In the event of a tie for first place each company will be asked to submit a tie-breaker entry which will be assessed by the judges to identify the winner.
 

Judging process:

The judges will give each submission a score between 1 and 10 (10 being the highest). The average score will be calculated giving a winner and finalists, there will be one winner and up to six finalists in each category.

The judges:

  • Zoran Vasiljev, Managing Director, Value Partners
  • Toni Eid, Founder & CEO, Trace Media
  • Marc Biosca, Principal, A.T. Kearney
  • Jesús Villacorta, Principal, Boston Consulting Group
  • Karim Taga, Managing Director, Austria & Head of TIME Practice, Arthur D. Little
