Judging process

The Cooling Industry Awards has the most prestigious and rigorous judging process in the RAC industry. Each category has its own independent panel of judges, made up of major clients and industry figures, who review entries to determine the shortlist and conduct online presentations, to select the winners for that category.

Each stage is designed to provide a fair and transparent process. Please note if you are chosen as a finalist by our judges you will need to present to our judging panel. The final dates per category will be published soon.

Stage 1:  All entries are reviewed by the internal judges and the shortlist will be decided and notified.

Stage 2: The judges review shortlisted entries ahead of the online meeting where judges will hear a presentation from the shortlist and be able to ask any questions about the entry.

Stage 3: The judges score all of the entries through a secret ballot to determine the winner
