Entry and judging process
The Melbourne Awards are free to enter, and projects and initiatives that deserve recognition for their contribution to our city are encouraged to enter.
Entrants must complete a submission by answering each section of the selection criteria for their nominated award category.
Finalists and winners are selected through a comprehensive judging process which is designed to be fair, transparent and independent of the City of Melbourne. The judging panel consists of honorary judges who are experienced and respected in their fields and represent a variety of industry sectors.
Winners are announced at a Gala Awards Ceremony held at Melbourne Town Hall in November each year.
