See the best projects in the industry
Judging a category at the LI Awards is an opportunity to see the work of the best of the profession, to meet other industry leaders, and to celebrate and contribute to the ongoing success of the Awards.
Each category is judged by a panel of 3-5 judges (including a Chair), made up of industry experts with relevant expertise in that category. Judging is open to both non-members and members of the LI, and we encourage you to apply if you believe that your experience will bring value to a specific category, even if you do not have previous experience of judging similar awards or competitions.
