On the following page please tick all the categories that you would like (and feel qualified) to judge. You can select as many or as few categories as you like.

Please note: you may not be asked to judge all the categories you tick.

You will be asked to set aside time to shortlist entrants for each category and ultimately participate in a deliberation day for that category (excluding Team of the Year which has no deliberation day).

Online shortlisting Process (8th June - 22nd June - done remotely from home)

The online shortlisting process is where you score each entrant over a series of pre-determined questions. Those entrants with the highest total scores from all of the judges are put through as finalists.

This process is completed electronically and you would need to allow at least one day for each category to do this but the total amount of time may vary depending on the volume of entries we receive. You should be aware that every judge works at different speeds and in different ways and it may therefore take you less or more time depending on the way you approach the process.

The shortlist is expected to be announced towards the end of June 2021.

Second-Round Judging: (17th August - 8th September - 

This is one of the most important stages of the final judging process and is done via:

a) Official videos

For Spa and Salon of the Year finalists will be asked to provide a 4 minute video of their property according to a list of criteria. You will be provided with a score sheet for you to judge the videos, along with access to the judging portal so that you can see the entry and the previous scores you submitted. The judging for this will take place from 17th August - 31st August and we ask that if you have any questions that need to be answered by the finalist in order to scare their video that you ask these during the next stage, the official interview.

and or b)Practical/Official Interview Days
