Why Your Judging Application Was Not Accepted

At the Globee Awards, we strive for excellence and integrity in our judging process. Occasionally, judging applications are not accepted, and we understand this can be disappointing. Here are some common reasons why an application may not be accepted, which we hope will provide clarity and guidance for future applications:

Non-Professional Email Used: Applications must be submitted with a work or business email. Personal email addresses are not accepted as they do not provide adequate professional verification.
Mismatched Email Domain: The domain of your email address should correspond to your current place of employment or business. A mismatch may raise questions about the authenticity of your professional affiliation.
Lack of Public Proof of Employment: We require verifiable proof of your current professional status, typically through LinkedIn profiles or an official company website. Inability to provide this can lead to application rejection.
Incompatible Professional Background: Each awards program requires judges with specific qualifications and expertise. If your background does not align with the requirements for a particular program, your application may not be accepted. However, we encourage you to consider applying for other programs that may be a better fit.
Incomplete Assignments in Past Programs: If you have participated in previous programs but failed to complete your assignments consistently, this can negatively impact your current application.
Lack of Scoring: An essential part of being a judge is providing scores. Failure to do so may lead to your application being declined.
Verification Issues: If we are unable to verify the information provided in your application, including your professional credentials and experience, the application may not be accepted.
Duplicate Applications: You have submitted duplicate applications for same awards by using 2 or more different emails.

We value the interest and enthusiasm of all potential judges and aim to maintain a high standard in our selection process. If your application was not accepted this time, we encourage you to review these criteria and consider applying again in the future with the necessary adjustments.

Email Policy and Judge Transparency Requirements

We understand your privacy concerns; however, our system checks for consistency between the email domain and the LinkedIn profile to ensure authenticity. Unfortunately, a discrepancy, such as using a personal or university email, might trigger an alert and could nullify your participation. We aim to maintain the highest standards of integrity and verification for all participants.

All judges full names and LinkedIn profiles would be displayed on the Globee Awards judges pages. So your employer would eventually know. We cannot hide judges names as winners want to know whether judges are real.

Participation in the Globee Awards as a judge requires an openness to public recognition. This transparency is a cornerstone of our program, as it enhances the trust and integrity of the awards. Our judges’ professional credibility, reflected in their public profiles, is crucial in upholding the prestige of the awards. Therefore, we seek judges who are comfortable with and proud of their association with their role in the Globee Awards, ensuring alignment with our values of transparency and professional integrity.

If your employer’s policies restrict the use of your professional email, it might be best to reconsider participation in the Globee Awards. Our volunteer judges’ involvement is a point of pride and should be openly recognized, rather than concealed. We seek participants who can fully embrace and publicly acknowledge their role in our community.

Disqualification, Permanent Bans, and Reasons for Exclusion from Participation

Why some participating judges can be banned even after completing some or all assignments.

At Globee Awards, we prioritize maintaining the highest standards of integrity and professionalism in our judging process. While the majority of our participating judges uphold these principles, there are instances where disqualification or permanent bans may be enforced. Here are the reasons for exclusion from participation:

Submission of False Background Information: If a judge provides inaccurate or misleading information regarding their background, qualifications, or professional experience, they may face disqualification or a permanent ban from participating in future judging assignments.
Rude and Unprofessional Behavior: Judges must maintain a respectful and professional demeanor when communicating with fellow judges, participants, and the Globee Awards team. Any display of rude or unprofessional behavior, whether through emails, communications, scoring, comments, or other interactions, may result in disqualification or a permanent ban.
Unauthorized Use or Disclosure of Assignment Content: Participating judges must adhere to strict confidentiality guidelines. Any attempt to download, reproduce, or share any part of the assignment content, partially or in its entirety, without explicit permission will lead to disqualification or a permanent ban.
Downloading, Taking Screen Shots, or Sharing Assignment Content: Judges are strictly prohibited from sharing any assignment content with nominees or external parties. Maintaining confidentiality and integrity during the judging process is crucial. Any violation will result in disqualification or a permanent ban.

By enforcing these measures, we ensure the integrity, fairness, and confidentiality of the Globee Awards judging process. We appreciate the dedication and professionalism of most of our judges, who contribute to the success of our awards program. Together, we uphold the highest standards of excellence and recognition in the industry.

Globee Awards Judging Process: A Global Standard in Data-Driven Scoring

The Globee Awards’ exclusive data-driven scoring process ensures fairness, transparency, and consistency, establishing the Globee Awards as a premier global recognition program.

Discover how the scoring works, what is expected of you, and why this process sets the global standard for excellence in awards judging.

How the Globee Awards Scoring Works

The Globee Awards’ data-driven judging process evaluates nominations using a structured scoring system that removes subjectivity, focuses on measurable achievements, and ensures consistent evaluations. Judges score nominations across four key areas:

Achievement: Assesses the nominee’s most significant accomplishment.
Main Content: Evaluates the depth, clarity, and relevance of the essay explaining the achievement.
Summary: Rates the impact and conciseness of the key points summarizing why the nomination deserves recognition.
Supporting Materials: Judges the relevance and credibility of supplemental content (e.g., URLs, attachments).
- Excellent (3.10 points): All three types of supporting materials are provided (URLs, website links, attachments) and are directly related to the nominated achievement. Every piece of supporting content strengthens and fully supports the nomination. Supporting Materials can earn an Excellent (3.10 points) score for exceptional evidence that is highly relevant, credible, and impactful.
- Well Done (2.30 points): Relevant supporting material is provided and contributes meaningfully to the nomination, even if not all three types are used or if some materials are slightly less comprehensive.
- Satisfactory (1.90 points): Supporting material is included, but its relevance to the nominated achievement is weak or only partially supports the nomination.
- Weak (0 points): No supporting material has been submitted.

Scoring Scale

Judges assign scores to each area using the following standardized scale:

Score	Description
Excellent (3.10 points)	For Supporting Materials only: Exceptional, highly relevant, credible, and directly impactful.
Well Done (2.30 points)	Exceeds or meets expectations with excellence.
Satisfactory (1.90 points)	Meets expectations but lacks standout qualities or depth.
Weak (0 points)	Does not meet expectations or fails to substantiate the achievement.

Each nomination’s total score is calculated as the sum of all four criteria, resulting in a final score out of 10 points.

Award Levels

The final score determines the award level:

Award Level	Score Range	Criteria
Gold	8.50–10.00 points	Requires a mix of Well Done (2.30) and Excellent (3.10) scores, especially in Supporting Materials.

In such cases, the quality and relevance of supporting materials become even more crucial.
Recusing as a Judge: If you feel unqualified to score an assignment due to a potential conflict of interest or lack of impartiality, you may choose to recuse yourself. Please provide a reason for recusing from each assignment to ensure transparency.

Applicants are shown anonymized judge scores for transparency—but individual judge identities and their specific evaluations remain confidential and protected.

Judges are strictly prohibited from taking screenshots, downloading, or storing any entry content. Any attempt to access or retain submission data after judging concludes is considered a serious violation of our confidentiality policy and may result in revocation of credentials, reference bans, or notifications to employers or relevant authorities.
