  11. Judging
    1. BRIMAN: The BRIMAN Group will be judging the entries for this category, assessing each entry and attributing a series of scores to each entry to produce an overall winning score. All judges complete a confidentiality agreement to undertake the judging process. The highest scoring entry in each category will receive the BRIMAN Award, presented at the BPMA Awards Dinner on 22nd January 2025. In the event of a tie, each judge will rank their preference to select a winner.
    2. Marketing Campaigns: an independent panel of judges (non-industry judges) will assess each entry, providing an overall score. The highest scoring entry in each category will receive the relevant Marketing Campaign of the Year award, presented at the BPMA Awards Dinner on 22nd January 2025. In the event of a tie in either category, each judge will rank their preference to select a winner.
  12. Moderation and vetting:
    1. The BPMA will vet each entry in line with the BPMA Code of Conduct and the CAP Code (non-Broadcast advertising code) to ensure all materials meet the marketable criteria.
    2. All judging is moderated to ensure fairness and equality between panels. All possible steps are taken to avoid judges in panels where they have a vested interest. However, where a vested interest is unavoidable a judge will not mark, score or comment on that entry during the process and the entry will not be penalised as a result. All nominations are vetted for compliance with these Terms and Conditions together with legal compliance where applicable. Entries may be downgraded or disqualified at this stage.
  13. In the event of circumstances outside the reasonable control of the BPMA, or otherwise where fraud, abuse, and/or an error affects or could affect the proper operation of these awards or the awarding of prizes, and only where circumstances make this unavoidable, the Promoter reserves the right to cancel or amend the awards or these Terms and Conditions, at any stage, but will always endeavour to minimise the effect to entrants in order to avoid undue disappointment.
  14. All entries will remain the property of the BPMA, and the Association may wish to use information in them in PR activity, case studies or educational content without payment to entrants. Please ensure any information that is confidential and for the judges’ eyes only is clearly marked as such in your submissions, any failure to do so is the sole responsibility of the entrant.
