Judging process

The most respected awards are usually those with the best judging process. Win or lose, we expect everyone to acknowledge that the winners are worthy of their award.

In the first round of judging, a small group of category judges will review submitted entry material and then score the entries in a secret ballot. Votes will be counted and verified by the Insurance Asset Risk editorial team.

The top entries in each category will be shortlisted and will be put through to a larger judging panel who will score the entries for a second round of voting by secret ballot to determine the winners.

All judges are senior industry experts from across the Americas, each chosen for their knowledge, objectivity and credibility.

The judges' decision is final and neither Insurance Asset Risk nor the judging panel will enter into any correspondence regarding individual entries and/or award winners.

Winners will be announced on the Insurance Asset Risk website in October 2020 and featured in the Autumn 2020 issue of the magazine. 

Confidentiality

Insurance Asset Risk and the judges recognise and respect the sensitive nature of the information submitted in the entries. Entries are not disclosed or discussed outside the judging process.

Extracts from the entry summary may be sourced for inclusion in the Awards write-up and any subsequent editorial coverage. However, our editorial team may contact you for additional information should any questions arise.
