Judging Criteria
Our panel of judges consists of industry professionals from agencies and brands, each bringing extensive experience in their respective fields.
Our judges are tasked with evaluating campaigns and influencers based on a variety of criteria, assigning a score from 1 to 5 in each of these categories. To maintain the integrity of the judging process, the panel will not convene as a group. Instead, judges will independently review and score the submitted campaigns online and on their own. This approach is designed to prevent any potential influence and to guarantee that each campaign is evaluated solely on its own merits.
In any cases where there is a conflict of interest with a particular agency or brand, our judges are obligated to abstain from scoring that specific campaign.
