Judging procedure
Each category of the British Environment and Media Awards will have its own jury comprised of a chair and four judges. The juries' decisions are final and no correspondence will be entered into concerning the judging or organisation of the awards. No jury member can vote on his or her own work or that of their company. Should the quality of entries fall below the standard required, the organisers reserve the right not to select a winner.
The awards
Each jury will announce three finalists of which one will be the outright winner. All shortlisted entries will be notified by end of September 2007 and the winner will be announced at the Gala Dinner and Awards Presentation on Wednesday, 7 November 2007 at the East Wintergarden, Canary Wharf, London, E14. Winners will be presented with a trophy on the night and a certificate will be sent after the event. Finalists and commendations will be sent a certificate.
