Our judges comprise of an independent panel of senior representatives from a broad range of property organisations to investment industries and key industry players. The Judges are split into panels and assigned 3-4 categories, carefully selected by Property Week's editors. All Judges must sign Non-Disclosure Agreements and must declare any conflict of interest prior to the start of the process.

To ensure a rigorous, fair and transparent judging process, we undergo two judging stages:

Part 1: Online Judging:The judges individually review all the submissions received in their allocated categories. Each entry will be independently scored by the judges against the category's specific set criteria. Judges do not confer or discuss entries at this stage and the process is completed entirely independently of each other. Once the independent scoring is complete, scores are collated, and the highest scoring submissions go through to the second stage - the Judging Days.

Part 2: Judging Days:Once the finalists are announced, the judges are invited to join our judging days. In this the judges discuss and review each finalist entry in-depth until a winner for each category is agreed. Judging discussions can go on for any length of time, depending on the length, uniqueness and breadth of the finalist.
