Methodology
Individual finalists’ submissions will be delivered to a panel of respected judges that includes professional leaders and businesses as well as Lonsec.
They will assess each submission against the criteria of each award category.
The judges will score each part of the submission across the category’s criteria, giving an aggregated score. A number of judges will individually assess each submission for each category, offering a blended score and assessment.
The combined judging scores for each submission for each category are tabulated, with the highest scoring submission deemed the winner.
