Who will judge the entries?
The Occupational Therapy Excellence Awards will call up and attract senior level judges from across the OT sector. If you are interested in becoming a judge for the Awards, please send a short form CV by email to Helen Warrilow.
Judging takes place in two stages: the first scrutinises for validity and compliance and marks entries to go forward to the second and final stage, when the entries will be voted on by the judging panels. Each judging panel can consist of up to four judges and may examine and vote on around 20 entries. Voting will be secret and final marks will decide the placings in each category. There will always be a Winner declared in a category and, if closely fought, there may also be an Award of Merit.
Judges will be invited to attend the Awards lunch and ceremony as VIP guests, free of charge.
