Judging and Awards Process

1. Entry Review: Following confirmation of receipt of entry, the judging panel will consider nominations.

Photograph/Logo Requirement: All shortlisted finalists will be required to supply a high-resolution photograph in JPEG format or a logo in PNG format, which will be shown during the presentation ceremony at the award evening.
