The judging process for the Installer Awards will rely on the expertise of an impartial panel of industry experts, whose background and experience cover the full spectrum of the glass and glazing sector to ensure that the judging process is objective and fair.
How Will the Judging Process Work? The judges will assess all the relevant submissions and support material submitted via the awards website. They will then submit their shortlist of entries in each category to the Editor of Glass & Glazing Products magazine.
The second stage will involve an online meeting with the judges where they will discuss and debate the merits of each entry based on the criteria listed for each category and will select their top three, which will then be discussed in detail before selecting a winner.
Please note that GGP magazine and the panel of awards judges will not enter into any discussion regarding individual entries and/or awards winners. The judging process is strictly confidential to ensure that the judging process is fair.
