Evaluation

The evaluation of the candidates’ papers will be made by a small team of referees, or jury members, representing the 3 regions of the IIBA.

There will be a separate jury panel for each Award. Only the IIBA Administrator will know the identity of the applicants and Convenors and jury members will be presented with anonymous applications so that they do not know who has presented the proposal.

In other words the judging will be a double-blind process.

To participate in any one of these awards, candidates must email their application to the IIBA Back-Office:  Esta dirección de correo electrónico está siendo protegida contra los robots de spam. Necesita tener JavaScript habilitado para poder verlo.
