The ESA Awards remain the only honours to acknowledge outstanding work by sponsorship professionals right across Europe and, thanks to its impartiality and deep industry understanding of our judging panel, this ensures that the winners can be justifiably proud of their achievements.
Our esteemed judges bring insight, direction and robust evaluation to the judging programme. With a two stage process of judging both online and face-to-face, being an ESA Awards judge provides you with the opportunity to witness and award some of Europe’s best sponsorship work.
We are happy to welcome applicants from across all levels in the sponsorship industry, and are looking for experts in specific fields in order to ensure that the judging for the 2019 ESA Awards retains the same high standard as that of previous years.
The ESA Awards are now over a decade old, and we’ve continually strived to attract the most knowledgeable sponsorship practitioners to our panel. We do this in order to ensure that all entries, no matter whether they’re from a small agency or a large multi-national rights holder, receive the same expert critique and are judged purely on merit, against a comprehensive criteria-based matrix. Winning an ESA Award really is an achievement and we’re looking forward to welcoming new judges into the fold for the 2019 competition.
