How judging works
A team of more than 60 experienced PR professionals will judge the Excellence Awards entries in our two-stage judging process.
At stage one, judges will form teams of two to judge each entry in their specialist category and select the shortlist.
At stage two, all judges will come together and work in new groups to review the category shortlists and select the winners.
