Middle East Event Awards 2023 – Judging Process

One Round of Judging 

Majority of the categories will only have one round of judging via the online platform. The judges will review and score all entries independently via our secured online platform. A shortlist for each category will be drawn from the judges’ aggregate scores from all the judges for each entry, and up to five top scoring entries in each category will form each shortlist. The jury will unanimously decide whether to shortlist fewer or more than 5 entries.

The winners will be chosen based on the aggregate scores from the judges.
