The Judging Panel

A three-person judging team will be assembled from MLI members, and other non-MLI experts in the field, for each award category. Judges cannot submit an entry for the category they are judging, or be involved with a nomination for the category they are judging.

Each award category will be assessed on the criteria outlined below and, at the discretion of the judges, weightings may be applied to some criteria.

The decision of the Judging Panel is final.

If you would like to be considered for a Judging Panel please email  info@medialiteracyireland.ie
