Ferndown Business Awards Judging
The Ferndown Business Awards entries are evaluated by an anonymous panel of impartial adjudicators. The entire judging process is conducted online, and each judge is unaware of the identities of their fellow panel members. Judges are provided with a briefing, copies of the nominations and entries, as well as a spreadsheet for voting. They rank their preferences in each category, from first choice downwards. These individual spreadsheets are then consolidated into a master sheet to determine the winners.
