ESA’s two judging panels cover the main ESA Awards and the invitation-only ESA Best of Europe.
2024 judging
The ESA Awards remains the only honour to acknowledge outstanding work by sponsorship professionals right across Europe, and, thanks to the 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, being an ESA Awards judge provides you with the opportunity to witness and award some of Europe’s best sponsorship work.
The ESA Awards is now over a decade old, and we continually strive to attract the most knowledgeable sponsorship practitioners to our panel. We do this in order to ensure that all award 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.
Becoming an ESA Awards judge is a stimulating and rewarding experience which demonstrates your standing in the industry and allows you to take an inside look at some of the continent’s biggest sponsorship campaigns.
Winning an ESA Award really is an achievement and we look forward to welcoming judges both new and old to our 2024 competition.
Appplication to judge has now closed and all 2024 ESA Awards applicants have been contacted.
