The judges' decision is final, and no correspondence or discussion will be entered into or feedback given regarding the selection of shortlisted nominations or winners.
- In the interest of transparency, judges are ineligible to enter any categories they are judging. Please inform the Chief Judge should you be assigned to such a category.
- Judges will not allow personal relationships or experiences to influence judging marks or decisions and their judging will be impartial and based on the standard of entry, campaign, organisation or product.
- Judges will declare any perceived conflict of interest to the Chief Judge ahead of reading any entries.
- All judging discussions are confidential and will not be shared or discussed with anyone outside of the judging panel ahead of the ceremony or thereafter.
- Judges will not share confidential material, judging papers or entries with anyone. Judges will securely delete all judging materials immediately after the judging period or give materials to the PRISA team who will manage this.
- Judges can only access entries that they have been provided to score.
- Judges will not notify anyone that they have won or that they are shortlisted ahead of the official announcements.
- Judges will not provide any feedback to entrants as to why they have not won or were not shortlisted – all requests for feedback must be directed to PRISA.
- Should a judge break the rules of conduct and the code is not adhered to, they will be asked to leave the panel and not be invited to judge any future awards.
