The Entry Process
When the entries close on Tuesday 5 May, applications for each category will be assessed by the Executive Judging Panel. They will generate a shortlist of applicants per category. The Executive Panel will also put forward applicants for categories if they feel they are more relevant for the individual.
The shortlist will be scored individually and independently by a panel of no less than three judges without any conferring. Once the shortlist scores have been collated, no more than eight finalists will be selected for each category. Finalists will be announced on Friday 29 May. Finalists are invited to various events where they can meet the Judges, fellow Finalists, previous Winners and Sponsors. Finalists attend an online twenty-minute interview which will be conducted by the panel of judges under the supervision of an adjudicator between Tuesday 23 June to Thursday 2 July.
Finalists must attend the interview or they will be withdrawn from the awards process.
The judges are carefully selected from a variety of businesses covering various skills and expertise. The judges are impartial and independent, they will individually score each finalist, and these scores are then collated.
When the judge’s scores are either tied or within a margin of just 2% between finalists the votes received are added and will decide the winner. No single judge has the overall power to decide the winner.
Voting will be open for each category once all the finalists have been announced. Voting will be open from week commencing Monday 6th July. Voting closes Friday 7th August. This is an opportunity for finalists to promote themselves on social media and to maximise their position as a finalist in the Enterprise Vision Awards.
All finalists are required to buy a ticket and attend the awards ceremony on Friday 2 October 2025 when the winner of each category will be announced.
