Thank you for your interest in applying to judge the APM Project Management Awards. This is a rare and valuable opportunity for experienced project professionals to give something back by volunteering to be part of one of the project profession's most respected and prestigious awards.

Each category has a dedicated panel of up to five judges. It is the role of the judge to allocate time to score each entry submitted under their given category or categories. Judges are encouraged to apply for more than one category if possible, but will not be disregarded if unable to.

For those judges who have previously judged, please note that the Young Project Professional of the Year category is now called Emerging Project Professional of the Year. Our larger entry categories will be judged by two panels, rather than one, therefore judging half the entries.
