Terms & Conditions - Judging
- The Judging Panel will be led by Dr Eddy Hogg, University of Kent - Senior Lecturer in Social Policy and co-Director of Education and Student Experience for the Division for the Study of Law, Society and Social Justice and co-author of The Complete Volunteer Management Handbook. Dr Hogg will be supported by a national judging panel.
- The judges' decision is final and no correspondence relating to Platinum Champions can be entered into.
- All nominations will be judged based on evidence of how the person you have nominated makes a difference to the lives of others. The judges will consider the impact of the volunteering to others and the frequency in which the nominee volunteers.
- The awards are UK-wide, so our judges will be looking to award champions across the nations and regions of the UK.
- 490 volunteers will be carefully selected by our panel of judges to receive a specially commissioned Platinum Champions pin and certificate signed by Her Royal Highness The Duchess of Cornwall. The judges will also select from the shortlist, 10 nominees per category (70 in total plus a guest each) who will be invited to The Big Jubilee Lunch in London on Sunday 5 June, 2022.
