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. Judging will take place virtually via a zoom meeting. 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 weightings may be applied to some criteria, depending on the category.

The decision of the Judging Panel is final.
