Finalists for the International & European Association Awards 2020

Association news
Published on 26 June 2020

This spring we changed the way we manage the awards by adopting the Pixl8 awards system. All the nominations were submitted online and the functionality of the system enabled us to use scoring and weighting in the judging - moving away from a ranking approach.  This rigorous scoring approach has been highly appreciated by the judges and enabled us to fix a threshold score above which nominations go through to be a Finalist. Previously it was just the top three in ranking that went through.

The number of nominations we received this year was 50% higher than previous awards and the sophisticated tracking and emailing system was part of how it was achieved. 

The judges remarked on this year's entries as being nearly all very good, making judging more challenging. 

We thank everyone who nominated and congratulate all the finalists! 

The Awards Ceremony will take place on 9 December at 15:00hrs GMT | CET +1
