AEO Awards

Judging process

We promote and seek to attain both a diverse and inclusive profile for all our events, working groups, and judging panels.

How are the awards judged?

We use an independent, third party judging company to collect entries and allocate them to relevant judges. This platform collates the scores and feedback and delivers the results to AEO.

Judging is completed in isolation to avoid any peer pressure and conflicts of interest. There is a minimum of four judges marking all categories, which increases to 6 for the show categories.

In the event of a tie, a further round of judging will be undertaken by an entirely new set of judges.

No judge will judge their own entry, nor will they judge an entry from someone in their company.

The entry with the most points wins, AEO does not alter the results. If a representative for the winner can't attend, the runner up will win.

  • I wanted to congratulate you both, and the wider AEO team, on such a fantastic awards ceremony last week. I have not attended the AEO Awards for several years, and perhaps I forgot just how much of a special day it is… it was incredibly well organised, and it was such a wonderful occasion.
