How Are The VOX Awards Judged?

Firstly: Your judging panel remains a closely guarded secret until the awards ceremony. This is so that no potential 'friendship' voting can take place, and no entrants can ask industry friends or colleagues to vote for them. Suffice it to say that the judging panel is comprised of a group of relevant industry professionals at the top of their game.

Secondly: All judging takes place individually and with no potential to see other judges' scores. This is so that no 'historical' voting can take place, where a judge's score can be affected by seeing another judges high, or low score.

Thirdly: None of our judges know who the other judges are. This is done to stop any 'collusion' voting, so judges can't rig votes, nor discuss nominees with other judges.

Why are we judging like this? Awards are only worth something if they are earned by their merits and have no possibility of corruption. We have provided a fair judging platform which will allow the VOX Awards to be without question!
