Judging

Entries are Judged by the Best,

to Celebrate the Best

When you make an awards submission, your entry is put in front of some of the biggest players in the industry. These trailblazers are known for their business impact so they’re a tough group to impress. That means you can rest assured that entries are reviewed through a fair and rigorous process.

The World Procurement Awards

have a three-stage judging process:

1. Remote scoring

Each category is assigned to three judges for remote scoring and review

2. Peer review

Every entry is seen by every judge, allowing them to agree, disagree or comment on the entry’s initial score from stage one

3. Judging day

Regional judging panels gather in person for a lively debate and discussion of entries to establish the shortlist and winners
