What happens at the judging?
All entries are judged independently by our panel of experts. Our judges are the best of the best from the industry and are selected because of their expertise in the industry worldwide.
Any judge who has an entrant in a category in their employment, or has given advice to any entrant in a category, is not allowed to judge that category.
Judges are not allowed to discuss any entries before, during or after the judging, with each signing a non-disclosure agreement.
The whole procedure is supervised and strictly controlled.
If you are shortlisted in the Business Director of the Year, Junior/Assistant of the Year or Therapist of the Year categories, you will be required to attend a 30-minute interview taking place in Dublin on Monday 28th September 2020.
The judges’ decision is final. No correspondence will be entered into.
