JUDGING

State judging is conducted by an independent panel of industry professionals who volunteer their time and are appointed by TiCSA. Judges are selected for their knowledge and experience, and for their willingness to commit time to the awards process.

Site verification visits are conducted by a site judge with the aim of testing the experience and providing a report to validate claims made in the submission.

Each submission is assessed by a team of three judges, who firstly judge independently, and then discuss their findings as a group. This process is also overseen by professional auditors KPMG.
