How are the awards judged?

CharityVillage has recruited an esteemed expert panel of judges that are subject matter experts in the specific award categories. The judging panel will review all submissions and then rate each application and/or nomination using a predetermined rubric. Through this process, they will be selecting finalists and a winner in each category. Applicants and nominees with the highest scores are the winner/finalists in each category. The decision of our judging panel is final, and CharityVillage will not engage with the panel at any time regarding their decisions.

 

How will finalists and winners be notified?

We will notify the finalists ahead of the Conference and provide an electronic “Finalist” badge that the finalists may display on their websites at their discretion.  Only the finalists, including the winner, will be announced at the Virtual CharityVillage Conference and Awards on November 29, 2023. The other applicants will not be disclosed.  Winners will be announced at the event and will receive electronic “Winner” badges to display online at their discretion. All finalists and winners will be celebrated on the CharityVillage website, in the “Village Vibes” newsletter, and on our social media channels.
