The Judging Process
Judges will read and pre-score all entry forms, considering any supporting materials submitted. Judges will then meet in September to discuss the highest scoring entries and agree the winner for each category. The Northern Soul of the Year will be determined by the judges on judging day. Shorlists will be announced on Oct 1, 2018. The winners will be announced on the evening of November 15, 2018.
Confidentiality
All materials will remain confidential to the judges. Winning case studies may be used in post-event materials to promote best practice but permission will be sought from entrants before publishing these.
