How will the entries be judged?


The RJRF Competition is judged by a panel drawn from the RJRF Trustees.

Each entry is read by at least three judges prior to short-listing.

The jury reserves the right to consider repositioning entries across categories. 

Once entries are shortlisted, follow-up questions may be asked by the Judges. 

The full list of judges is here.

Judges are asked to flag up potential conflicts of interest when assessing or debating entries.

The Judges’ decision is final.

How will entries be judged

What criteria will the Judges use to decide the winning entries and finalists?

 

The key test is the extent to which each entry responds to the Competition Question and its sub-themes, plus innovation and creativity. See the Guide for Entrants for a more detailed explanation of each of these themes.

 

Clear decision-making criteria will be applied to the selection of winning entries, including:

  • quality and originality of ideas

  • novelty of presentation (wow factor)

  • quality of thinking and research

  • resonance with both public and policymakers

  • scalability

 

The Judges reserve the right to award a number of smaller Judges’ Special Prizes to recognise particularly innovative thinking.
