Judging Methodology
Network X judges are selected based on their market knowledge, industry standing and impartiality. Each category has its own set of judges, with typically 5+ judges per category.
Judges independently and anonymously score each entry out of 10, based on information submitted within the entry and the supporting materials.
Scores are tallied and the entrant with the best average score wins. In the event of a tie, judges are asked to choose between the tied entrants to decide on a winner.
