Judges will be required to judge entries from competitors and we expect non-bias judging.  If you are not able to judge competitors' work, then please do not register as a judge

Judging Criteria

How will entries be judged?

Entries will be judged based on 3 criteria – PLANNING & DEVELOPMENT, EXECUTION and RESULTS.  Weighting varies depending on the category.

View the 2024 BOC Judging Criteria Rubric to understand how to judge each entry.

Your entry will be reviewed against the criteria by a team of qualified judges with experience in the agri-marketing, advertising and communications industries. The highest scoring entries in each category will be reviewed by a second team of judges, who will select the winners and certificate of merit winners.  The winning entries will then be judged for the Best of Show categories.

Winners are honoured at the CAMA gala.
