You can also work on your entry offline by downloading the entry questions. So, make the most of your morning commute, visit a local coffee shop or relax in your backyard because you can work on your entry from anywhere.
Start or work on your entry today and you might walk away from October with a shiny new trophy.
The awards are judged by a panel of event professionals who represent all areas of the industry. Four lead judges guide the panel through the online judging process and review the finalists in their assigned categories. We are excited to announce the lead judges for 2021.
Long-time Event Awards judge & 2015 Lifetime Achievement Award winner, Meri Took, will join the lead judges in 2021 to oversee the creative event management sphere. Also new in 2021 is Michelle Morris who will manage the public event categories.
Alongside Meri and Michelle, Stacey Buckley and Peter Jones will remain in their lead judge role from 2020 with new areas to oversee. Stacey will look after event support services and Peter will guide the corporate and business events realm.
