JUDGES

​Who is judging the awards?

How can I be sure about the integrity of the awards?

 

To avoid a popularity contest or the issuing of awards that are not based on merit, the Marketing Research and Insight Excellence Awards will be judged by Quirk’s editorial staff, end-client and/or supplier-side researchers.

​

• All judges must sign a non-disclosure agreement prior to judging awards.

• Judges will not be allowed to judge categories in which they are nominated.

• All attempts will be made to reduce unconscious bias among judges by concealing personally-identifying applicant data. 

• To prevent lobbying, names of judges are not released prior to finalists and winners being chosen.

• Judges use an online portal to independently judge the nominations. They are not provided the names of the other judges and they do not see the scores of the other judges. The system tabulates the scores.​​

​

Interested in judging? Apply today by sending your resume/CV or a link to your LinkedIn profile to awards@quirksawards.com with the word ‘Judge’ in the subject line.
