We estimate that for a good quality entry, you will need to invest approximately 4h to 8h in each of your entries.

Become a Judge

If you are an industry expert and have over 10 years of experience within the renewable energy space, we would welcome your application to join the Wind Investment Awards judging panel.

Why judge? 

Many of our judges have described it as the best CPD experience they get all year. By reading and scoring entries, you get exclusive insight into industry trends, the opportunity to review leading industry deals, and enjoy senior-level peer networking with fellow judges.

Judging isn’t for everybody. It involves at least a day of pre-judging followed by a 2 hour video conference judging session. However, many of our judges return year after year! As part of being a judge, you’ll be invited to attend the Wind Investment Awards Gala dinner. 

Judges also receive promotional assets to use on their profile and social channels and an opportunity to blog or contribute content across our extensive network.

I consider it a great privilege to be a judge for this event. It is a valuable use of my time because I learn so much about a sector I have been involved in for over 20 years. Truly, every day is a learning day! The judging panel is great as I get to meet new people and strengthen relationships with long-standing contacts.

As always it has been a pleasure to be involved in these awards.

Thank you for the invitation to join you again for this year’s judging and for the dinner event, which was fantastic again. Congratulations for the ongoing success of these awards!

I really learned a lot during the judging process. It was really good to have a global perspective that I would have never known about otherwise - it was fantastic.

The event in the wind industry calendar attended by those influencing the strategic direction of the market and importantly recognising their efforts.

Having an event like the “Wind Investment Award” gives the industry an opportunity to recognize the trend setters, those players in the market making the biggest difference.

I was delighted to be asked to join the judging panel for the Wind Investment Awards again. The standard of entries is so high, with so much creativity and innovation.

I enjoy the judging process and get a lot out of it, not least an additional insight into what is going on in our sector. It is an impressively slick process too.
