2024 Business Excellence Awards Judging Overview

Judging Overview

The judging process for the Warwick Chamber of Commerce Business Excellence Awards is designed to ensure fairness, transparency, and integrity.

How It Works:

  • Each award category will be assessed by an independent panel of 2-3 judges.
  • Judges are selected for their expertise, impartiality, and knowledge across various industries.

Key Principles:

  • Confidentiality: Judges sign confidentiality agreements to ensure all applications and deliberations remain private.
  • Conflict of Interest: Judges declare any conflicts of interest and abstain from assessing categories where a conflict exists.
  • Evaluation Criteria: Applications are scored based on written responses (60%), video submissions (30%), and supporting documentation (10%).

The Process:

  1. Initial Review: Judges review all submissions independently, scoring them against the set criteria.
  2. Deliberation: Judges meet to discuss the highest-scoring applications, share insights, and determine finalists and winners.
  3. Final Decision: Winners are selected collectively to ensure a balanced and fair
    outcome.


This thorough and impartial judging process ensures that excellence is recognised and
celebrated across Warwick’s vibrant business community.
