The ACT Care Awards jury stands out for its gender balance, sectoral diversity, and commitment to integrity. None of the experts have any links to the work under review, ensuring a fair and impartial evaluation process.
Their mission is to provide a thorough, multi-faceted assessment of the shortlisted campaigns, evaluating them according to the Awards’ three main criteria: impact, creativity, and responsibility.
“The Expert Jury plays a crucial role. In addition to evaluating the campaigns against the three main criteria, each member contributes their unique expertise, ensuring a rich and well-rounded evaluation process”
