Better Business Awards: Judges revealed

The Adviser reveals today the judging panel for the 2018 Better Business Awards and explains exactly how winners are chosen for each category.

The assembly of the judging panel for the Better Business Awards involves a collaborative approach. To ensure professionalism and transparency, a judging panel made up of respected industry professionals is chosen to examine the submissions.

Award submissions are assessed against specific metrics and business performance parameters to determine the finalists in each state.

Each judge is assigned a number of categories and will be asked to score each submission in those categories based on all documentation provided by award entrants. The aggregate highest score will determine the winner of each award. One winner per award category will be selected from the list of finalists, with the awards presented at the state awards dinners between 15 February and 15 March 2018.
