APM are looking for experienced project professionals to judge our two upcoming awards; APM Project Management Awards and our brand-new Festival of Education and Research. APM are seeking judges with diverse backgrounds in the project profession to judge the many worthy entries submitted. Judging is a chance to get an unprecedented insight into what’s current in the project profession, not to mention the professional attainment of judging the project professions’ best and brightest professionals as well as ground-breaking academic research. Judges will also have the opportunity to apply to attend one of the two awards events they are judging for.  

APM Project Management Awards

In the upcoming awards, it is important to APM that the entries for each category are reviewed and judged by established professionals with the right experience. To ensure the judging panels for each category fit the award profile, APM have issued eligibility guidelines to help professionals decide on which award they would be most suited to judging. Successful applicants will be selected based not only on their eligibility to judge but also their suitability to the category they are applying to judge.

To judge in the Project Management Awards you must be at least one of the following:

• Chartered Project Professional
• APM Fellows
• Honorary Fellows of APM
• APM Award winners from the last two years
• RPP qualification holder

Key dates:

• Judges must attend the training day due to take place in the first week of June
• Judges must be available to judge entries online between 22 June – 10 July
• Judges with a two-stage category must keep free 7-11 September as they will be required to attend at least one day of judging in London

How to apply: Judges must complete the judge application form for the APM Project Management Awards and send this, along with their CV and a signed judges’ code of conduct to us by Friday 27 March 2020. An application form is available to download here.
