Judging principles
- Clear category fit: work is judged against the stated discipline and objective.
- Evidence over theatre: context, decisions, delivery and credible results matter more than production value.
- Conflicts declared: judges do not score work where a material conflict exists.
- Dates mean dates: every mark states category, territory and award year.
- Corrections remain possible: recognition may be amended or withdrawn when evidence changes.
Social Media ExcellenceRecognition for the strategy, craft and evidenced results of Social Media work.
