The judging process for Prolific North awards is rigorous and independent. The judging panel of industry experts, which you can see here, first scored each entry individually according to a set of entry criteria and then came together recently to discuss their scores.
As well as the winners of all the below awards, two categories are yet to be decided – the Young Outstanding Contributor to the North and Outstanding Contributor to the North awards will be decided by a combination of judges’ scoring and a public vote.
Follow this link to cast a vote for your industry role model before April 22nd.
Secure a place at the awards ceremony now to champion creative and digital and reward your team’s success with us. Early Bird tickets are available until April 19th, so don’t miss out.
