Apply to Judge

To put our finalists to the test, we rely on an expert panel of judges who will shape the future of customer experience through insightful feedback and rigorous scoring. This year we are looking for astute individuals like you to form our team of independent and impartial judges.

Judging at the Gulf Customer Experience Awards is a great way to share your knowledge and experience, and at the same time, you have the valuable opportunity to hear customer experience initiatives first hand from cross-sector organisations. You can also raise your profile, network with other business leaders, and of course celebrate at the ceremony with the finalists and winners!

WHAT DO I NEED
TO QUALIFY AS A JUDGE?

We are looking for a diverse team of judges with a range of knowledge and skills to provide judging panels with a robust mix of business expertise.

Therefore, we are looking for applicants who meet one or more of the following criteria:

  • Have knowledge, skills and/or experience in a variety of business disciplines
  • Have substantial business experience
  • Hold a relevant business qualification or belong to a relevant academic establishment e.g. a business school

AS A JUDGE
YOUR ROLE IS TO

  • Score written entries based on the judging criteria - Each entry is around 2,000 words and takes approximately 20 minutes to read and score. This scoring is 50% of the final score.

The judges submit their scores for the presentation based on the same criteria.
