Judging

JUDGING

The expertise and commitment shown by our National and Regional judges is superb.

Their dedication helps make the BCO Awards one of the most rigorous judging processes and, therefore, worthwhile in the property industry. Judging panels are made up of BCO members who serve up to three years on the panel. Each year one or two judging panel members change.

If you are interested in joining one of the judging panels then we would like to hear from you.

If you would like to apply to become a judge please download the BCO Judges Application Form (word download opens in a new window) and send it with a copy of your up to date CV to katharina.balassa@bco.org.uk.

Chairs of the judging panel will review all applications when a position becomes available and will get in touch with successful applicants directly.
