The Awards are judged by a panel of widely experience planning practitioners nominated by the President of the Institute. Judging takes place in the following sequence:
Stage 1
The judging panel will consider the project summaries on-line. The judges will be strongly influenced by this summary and the impact it makes will be of importance if entries are not to be eliminated at this stage.
Stage 2
The judges will meet in London to look at any additional material and compile a short-list. Once everyone has been notified the short-list will be announced on the website at www.rtpi.org.uk
Stage 3
A series of site visits and/or presentations will take place from June to September 2010.
Stage 4
In late October/early November 2010, details of the short-list will be passed to Haymarket, our partners in this award. They may seek further illustrative material to enable them to be featured in Planning and as part of the awards Presentation to be held in early 2011.
Stage 5
The winners will be announced at a high-profile Awards presentation which will take place in London.
The decision of the judges on any matter relating to the Awards will be final, and no correspondence will be entered into on their decision.
