Judging process

The Entry Process

Entering the CN Specialist Awards is your chance to showcase your achievements in front of the industry’s most respected clients and leaders. To give your submission the best chance of success, we strongly encourage entrants to back up every statement with clear evidence – whether that’s data, testimonials, measurable outcomes, or examples of innovation in action. The more criteria you can evidence, the stronger your entry will be.

Every entry is carefully reviewed and scored against the published criteria by our independent judging panel to create the shortlist. Shortlisted entrants will then be invited to face-to-face judging , where you’ll have the opportunity to expand on your written submission, bring your story to life, and demonstrate your passion and commitment to the sector.

This rigorous process ensures that every winner is selected fairly, transparently, and for the true impact of their work.

Live judging for shortlisted entrants will take place 29 June– 6 July 2026 at our London offices:
