Judging

overview

All submissions will be reviewed and scored by an independent panel of industry experts, carefully selected for their knowledge, experience and leadership, and intended to represent as many disciplines and subsectors of healthcare marketing and media as possible. At no stage will MM&M staff, nor anyone else outside of the panel, influence the scoring.

How it works

This year, the judging will take place in two stages, using a different group of judges for each stage. In Stage One, around 60 judges will individually review and score the majority of submissions online. These preliminary scores will produce a shortlist of 15-20 finalists for each category. In Stage Two, around 40 judges will assemble in New York for a day, divide into sub-groups, and discuss and score the finalists in each category. These scores will ultimately produce the gold and silver winners. Judges’ individual scores will remain confidential throughout the process, even during the discussions. This will eliminate the possibility of peer pressure, and will ensure that the judges are unable to identify the winners until they are revealed at the Awards ceremony on October 9, 2012.
