7 HOW DO THE JUDGES SELECT THE SCRIP WINNERS? The Scrip Awards prides itself on its Judging Panel, comprised of independent, senior industry experts from around the world, each chosen for their knowledge, objectivity and credibility. The judges separately consider entries from those categories that are relevant to their particular areas of specialist knowledge, expertise and experience, ensuring a considered response to every individual submission. Each category is reviewed by at least three judges. The judges mark each entry against the published criteria for its category, and the scores are marked out of five for each category answer. These are then collated by the Scrip Awards team to determine which entries are included in the shortlist, and the ultimate winner. The chair of the Judging Panel reserves the right to cast any deciding vote, should the need arise. The judges decision is final and neither the organisers nor the Judging Panel will enter into any correspondence about the results. Judging will take place throughout July, and the shortlist will be announced in early September. Details of the winners are strictly embargoed until the night but further details of all of the shortlisted entries will be published in Scrip in the weeks leading up to the ceremony on 30 November CONFIDENTIALITY Informa, organizer of the Scrip Awards, recognizes and respects the sensitive nature of the information submitted in the entries. We ensure that this recognition is shared by our Judging Panel and therefore require each judge to sign a confidentiality agreement before they are appointed. Entries are not disclosed or discussed outside the judging process. The Judging Panel for each Award is selected to avoid any conflict of interest. Once an entry is shortlisted, extracts from the entry summary only will be sourced for inclusion in the Awards ceremony and any subsequent editorial coverage. Please ensure your entry summary contains no confidential or sensitive information.
