Below find a list of our judges who are undertaking the task of evaluating entries from 23 awards categories.

Each category is judged by a panel of three people — two travel industry personnel and one travel editor or travel writer, with media judges only judging in non-competing categories.

Since the awards began, it’s been our policy to ensure no single judge judges the same category two years running, something we know entrants to the awards recognise and appreciate. This year, we’ve recruited 42 new first-time industry and media judges, far exceeding our aim of refreshing 25% of judges annually.
