The Judging Process

We have put together an independent panel of judges who consist of the Chamber Patrons and the Chamber Board members who will be meeting on Wednesday 25th and Thursday 26th September to shortlist the top three finalists in each category.

The three finalists from each category will be notified of their success on Friday 27th September via email. In this email, finalists will be given a date and time (between w/c 7th Oct and 14th Oct) where they will meet with and be interviewed by our partner judges in-person either at the finalists business premises or the Chamber offices.

After all interviews have been conducted, the partner judges will pick a winner and highly commended (optional), and these will be announced on the evening of Thursday 21st November.

Please note: The Black Country Chamber of Commerce team do not play a part in judging awards entries. The decision is made by our independent and partner judges and their decision is final.
