Judging Process

There is a two-tiered approach to judging these Awards – firstly involving a WLA working panel and then our list of external judges.
All finalists will be contacted by the WLA team to confirm that they have been shortlisted for the Awards and to verify details in their nomination form.
Each award will be assigned a panel of external judges. The list of finalists will be sent to the judges for assessment who will inform us of any potential conflict of interest.
Our judges are asked to independently assess according to the award criteria.
The finalists are invited to prepare a short speech should they be the overall winner
