The award winners are selected in a two-step scoring process that combines an Expert Judging Panel and Online Public Vote.
An expert judging panel score the applications and create a shortlist of finalists for each category.
The panel is selected based on their strong experience in social service management, planning, funding, provision and research. The composition of the judging panel aims to reflect the diversity of the ESN community by achieving a balance of gender, countries, areas of social services, sectors, levels of government and seniority.
In order to reflect the nature of ESN also as a platform for the wider social services community, an online public vote will be held for all shortlisted applications. This score will be combined with the judges scores to determine the winners.
The Expert Judging Panel’s evaluation will account for 85% of the final score and the Public Voting will account for 15% of the final score.
* During the evaluation process, ESN or the judging panel may decide to assign the application to a different category and will inform the applicant accordingly.
