My company plans on entering the awards. Can I still be a judge?

Definitely! We encourage your company to enter as many entries as you wish. We will do our best to assign you to a category that your company did not enter.

Will I have to travel?

All judging is completed online, and you are not required to travel to Realscreen Summit, although we would be delighted to see you there! The awards ceremony will take place at the 27th edition of Realscreen Summit in February 2025, in Miami.

When will the judging period take place?

The first online judging period will take place late-September to mid-October 2024. Scoring of entries can be completed at any point over a three-week period. A smaller group of jurors will be selected for the second stage of judging late-October to mid-November 2024.

How much of a time commitment is it?

Jurors will be assigned one or two categories for review, depending on how many entries are in the categories assigned, screening on average 15-20 hours of programming over a three-week period. You can judge at your leisure during that time period, however, ensuring you will be able to complete your judging by the deadline provided by the awards team will be paramount.

If you would like to participate in this unique opportunity to view content from around the world and contribute to selecting the best the industry has to offer, email jury@realscreen.com by Monday, July 1, 2024. Space is limited. Only those selected for the 2025 competition will be contacted.
