The Outstanding Judging Process
The Northamptonshire Business Excellence Awards
judging process is accredited and independent.
All award entries will be scored against set criteria and marked through a bespoke software-based scoring system before finalists are selected. The judging process is independent from the organisers and category sponsors. Once the finalists are announced, an independent board will review and select the winner from each category.
Step 1
Start your entries online. You can edit entry forms until the closing date, Friday 23rd August. Your award entries are not shared with the category sponsors
Step 2
Entries will be scored against set criteria, with an independent scoring panel agreeing the finalists for each category. Unsuccessful entrants will be notified.
Step 3
The independent judging panel will meet to discuss each finalist and come to a unanimous decision on who the winner of each category should be.
Step 4
Our awards evening will be a celebration of the business community within Northamptonshire, where finalists will be highlighted and winners announced.
