How does the judging process work?
Each entry is reviewed and scored by both BizBash editorial and a panel of industry experts. Finalists and winners are determined by the following criteria:

• Creativity/Fresh Thinking (20 points): How unique/original is the idea behind this work/program/product?
• Execution/Aesthetics (20 points): How well did this entry contribute to the overall success of the event? OR How well does this product lend itself to events?
• Effectiveness (30 points): How would you rate the quality of the production/development of this event/program/product?
• Wider Impact (30 points): Does this work/program advance the event and meeting industry in terms of innovation and forward thinking? OR Does this product help the industry move forward/adapt to changes?

Will you release my score total?
Scoring totals will not be released, but we will announce a winner (submission with the highest total score) and runner(s) up.

Why has my category changed?
After extensive vetting and qualifying by trusted industry experts, your entry may have been noted to better fit within another category. We always strive to ensure your submissions get the recognition they deserve.

When will submissions close? 
Submissions for the 11th Annual Event Experience Awards will close on October 26, 2023 at 11:59 p.m. EST. No submissions will be accepted after this date.
