Judging
Up to five expert judges per category will vote on the entries
Expert judges, chosen for their experience in business, in online commerce and for being web savvy, will vote independently for the internet business activity they think is best in a given category. The total of their combined votes will decide a winner.
Some judging groups may judge more than one category, because their expertise is broad enough, or because the category criteria are similar. Other groups may judge only one category, but it will probably be a larger category, with more entries.
The judges' decisions will be independently arrived at and final. No correspondence will be entered into concerning the judges' decisions and the names of the judges may not be released until after voting has been completed.
The national winners for Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland and England, and the ultimate, overall IBA Grand Prix award will all be voted for by the judges.
Please note: all judges will sign non-disclosure agreements before being given access to any entry. This is in keeping with the organisers' clear intent to maintain high levels of confidentiality. If, for instance, an entrant wishes to embargo certain information because of its commercial sensitivity, then provided the material is clearly marked as confidential, any material subject to an embargo will not be published.
