Those nominated and selected as finalists will be contacted to see if they accept the nomination (if they have not been sent by themselves) and if so, given an opportunity to submit additional information to be used by the judges in their deliberations.
An independent judging panel, made up of highly respected members of the community will assess all the finalist nominations, including the additional materials provided by nominees. The judges will be advised by a select group of advisors with knowledge and experience of the industry to help the judges decide the winner for each category. To ensure impartiality, no directors of BBFC will be involved in the judging process and all judges and advisors will be required to declare any conflicts of interests and then abstain from the judging process of the category in which the conflict has arisen.
