Our Core Values

Independent

Those who enter don’t have to be a member of an association to be involved – anyone meeting the criteria can enter any category. The only requirement is that entrants are credible and have shown outstanding performance in their field.

Credible

The criteria for each award category are based on research to identify the characteristics of outstanding performance in the relevant area. The awards are underpinned by a strict ethics policy that seeks to ensure judging decisions are fair and impartial.  Judges – generally nominated by associations and interest groups – have to agree to mark according to our published ethics policy, and that includes the requirement to declare any conflict of interest on every mark sheet.

Transparent

It is important to us for everyone to know the criteria for entering, how judges are selected and how the judging process works, so these details are published on the website.

Respectable

The core values have generated interest and respect and recognition globally, as well as opportunities, not just for the winners, but also those who are finalists.
