Judging criteria
In considering entries the judges will be consider the following factors:
- Timescale: This award will consider primarily achievements in the year of the award and the previous year. Some weight may be given to nominees, which have maintained a high profile for renewables issues over the years.
- Suitability: The ‘fit’ with the above criteria for this award category and adherence to the awards guidelines.
- Excellence: The quality of the campaign, publications and/or outreach activities and their suitability for the audience it is aimed at.
- Achievement: The extent that success has been proven and the original objectives have been met. The impact it has had on the audience.
- Dedication: The extent to which the nomination represents exceptional efforts ‘above and beyond the call of duty’ or job requirements of those involved.
- Award-worthiness: The extent to which this will act as an inspiration to others. Does this entry have the exceptional qualities that should be recognised with the prestige of an award?
The judges may give secondary consideration to balance, to encourage e.g. organisations that have not previously won awards, all sectors and regions of the renewable energy industry, entrants of varying sizes and stages of development.
