What is in it for you? / Why do you keep judging?

“I’ve been judging awards for Awards International since 2016. For me, regular awards judging is hugely valuable for identifying and understanding trends, both within the entries and presentations and in the behaviours of different sectors and industries. When you judge year-on-year you see how businesses change over time, and you can identify how best practice has evolved to meet new expectations. This gives me excellent opportunities for business development and fantastic networking opportunities with fellow judges and contestants.”
