The Judging Process
Virtual Judging Interviews for the Awards 2025: 7th – 8th May 2025
The judging process for the Constructing Excellence SECBE Awards is rigorous. We hold our judges to the highest standards of fairness, accuracy, and integrity.
Our expert judges have a passion for the principles and themes of our awards & demonstrate exceptional leadership ability and vision.
We have two rounds of judging:
- Shortlisting is based on the written submission. Every entry is evaluated carefully and equally to determine our finalists.
- Virtual Judging interviews: our finalists will give a short presentation to one of our seven judging panels.
Throughout the judging process, we make every effort to avoid conflicts of interest and we assign at least four judges to each entry.
The Rules
- The panel of judges will consider each submission against the category criteria.
- The judges have the authority to recommend entries to more appropriate categories.
- Shortlisted entrants will be required to make a presentation to the judging panel.
- Their decision is final, and no correspondence will be entered into following the awards.
- Winners will be announced at our Gala Dinner in London.
- All awards are made at the discretion of the judges.
- The right is reserved not to make awards in a particular category.
- The judges reserve the right to refuse entries without giving reasons.
- Information supplied to or by the judges, or discussed between the judges and entrants, can be treated in complete confidence if requested.
