Jury membership is invitation-only
The ECDMA Global Awards jury is formed exclusively from professionals with outstanding, verifiable achievements and relevant expertise. Judging is not an open application program and there is no paid route to become a judge.
You can submit an expression of interest. This is not an application and does not guarantee an invitation. It simply allows the Organizing Committee to review your profile for possible future invitation if a relevant expertise need exists.
What we look for
We consider jury candidates who demonstrate significant professional distinction, such as:
- major industry awards or recognized professional distinctions;
- peer-reviewed memberships or titles where admission is merit-based;
- published profiles or interviews in reputable professional media;
- judging/mentoring roles in reputable awards or expert programs;
- original contributions with proven market or community impact;
- expert or scientific publications with clear industry relevance;
- leading roles in distinguished organizations with measurable impact.
Full rules and verification standards are published in the Official Jury Selection Policy.
What judges do
- Evaluate assigned nominations using published criteria and weights.
- Provide professional, constructive feedback where requested.
- Disclose conflicts of interest and recuse where necessary.
- Maintain confidentiality of nominations and deliberations.
Compensation
Judges participate on a volunteer basis. Jury work is a professional contribution to the industry and the credibility of the Awards Program. Judges may receive non-monetary recognition (e.g., official acknowledgment on the website) as defined by the Organizer.

- Send a short profile to [email protected] (LinkedIn + bio + areas of expertise).
- Include 3–5 links that demonstrate your achievements (awards, publications, case studies, reputable media, patents, etc.).
- Optionally, specify which categories you are best qualified to evaluate.
If invited, you will be asked to accept the Terms & Conditions for Judges and comply with confidentiality and ethics requirements.
