The judging process
How are the awards judged?
All entries in each category will be judged by all the category judges and are scored against clearly defined criteria outlined for each award. Each criteria is scored to a strictly enforced marking system, and the final scores for each criteria are added together to result in the winner.
Who are the judges?
Each award has a panel of carefully selected industry expert judges and customer judges. You can see a list of the judges in the judges tab.
How do you choose the judges?
The Reuters Events: Pharma Awards have an exclusive focus on patient and customer value, so we have recruited senior pharma experts, and most importantly, customer judges, to give their opinions on the nominations.
