The Funds Europe Awards methodology:
1. Entries were encouraged through the spring of 2025 to June.
2. Shortlisted entries were published from the end of June.
3. Entries were allocated to judges to review through July into August. Judges were asked to review a set number of entries each, usually across multiple categories. They would review both the written entries and any supporting materials uploaded via the Awards entry portal. Judges were asked to review entries against the criteria outlined and provide a score out of 5 on each entry, with 1 being low and 5 high. This score was used to help steer discussions when judges met for two days in September for in-person discussions.
4. Judging took place 10-11 September 2025 in London. More than 40 judges took part, split across a total of six judging sessions. Each session considered a certain number of categories, averaging around 3-4 in each session.
In the run-up to the judging, Funds Europe additionally researched possible conflicts of interest, for example, where flagged by judges themselves through the judging portal engagement. Where this was identified, judges were contacted to advise that they would need to leave the room when a relevant category was being discussed. This was flagged up again at the start of every judging session, when judges were reminded on the day that they must leave the room at any point of such a conflict.
Judges who were unable to meet in person were dialled in by video conference, e.g., if based in another country in Europe. For these judges, where any conflict of interest might have been identified, they would leave the video call.
The aforementioned scoring (point 3. above) was used to help understand the spread of possible outcomes at the start of each category judging session -- such as categories where there was clear distance between potential winners and those with poor entries, but also to spot categories where judges felt there might be a greater number of potential winners. This approach helped focus discussions in each of the judging sessions, however, the scores were being considered for guidance. Winners were not picked from the scores, but from consensus of the judges only after further discussion on the entries.
From these judging sessions, winners were chosen. There were some special commendations also agreed by judges for a limited number of categories. This occurred where, e.g., the judging cohort recognised that an entrant may be doing well against the category criteria, but not quite enough to be the winner.
5. Although the full list of judges' names was published at the time of the Awards, Funds Europe releases no information about which categories they may have judged. All engagement with judges is strictly confidential. This is necessary to ensure the robustness of the methodology and the ongoing quality of the Awards.
