The Judge’s Scorecard gives you two options:

1. We’ll assess your entry as if we were judging it but give you feedback so you can improve.
2. A deep dive into your entry to give you in-depth feedback.  If your entry was submitted tomorrow, this process will tell you how it would be judged, not how you hope it would be received.

How it works.

• Send your completed draft (or near complete).
• Your entry is reviewed against core award criteria: business performance, impact, differentiation, leadership, and proof.
• You’ll get a score out of 100 with question-by-question feedback on what’s landing, what’s confusing, what’s being oversold, and what’s being underplayed.
• We’ll tell you where you need to provide more proof and evidence. Anywhere you’ve made a claim without evidence eg: we’re the best, fast-growing or amazing culture. We’ll flag what’s missing and what kind of proof would strengthen it (numbers, outcomes, customer results, process, IP, etc.).
• We’ll highlight your top 5 fixes for the highest-impact changes that will lift your score fastest. 

This will save you from:
– entering too early
– relying on a good story without evidence
– assuming judges will get it
– wasting entry fees on entries that aren’t ready.

Sometimes the feedback stings a little. That’s the point. If you’d rather fix the cracks now than wonder later why you didn’t place and if you’re serious about awards being part of your brand and credibility, it pays to have fresh eyes look over your entry.

This isn’t rewriting your entry, a line-by-line edit of every sentence or multiple rounds of review or promises you’ll win. This is applying judging rigour and processes to your entry to give you an idea on whether you can press submit.
