Judging Criteria
Entries will be judged by a minimum of six juries, each ideally comprising 5 or more members. The minimum number of judges required to judge each separate category is 3.
No more than 4 representatives from one country may be on the same jury. No standard jury will include more than 2 representatives from one company or station.
The judges reserve the right to request further information about the programme or performer from the nominator. Failure to meet such requests in sufficient detail may result in disqualification.
The judges reserve the right to move any entry to a different entry category if it is judged that such a move is warranted. Entrants will be notified before a category reassignment is made.
The judging process will be conducted on-line, and the results will be tabulated and audited by international auditing firm PricewaterhouseCoopers. Judges cannot vote for programmes produced for, or submitted by their company or associated company.
No announcement of the winners will be made in advance of the Awards Ceremony. Short-listed programmes, performers and companies will be announced in October 2015.
The judges’ decision will be final and binding. Neither the Asian Television Awards organising committee nor the judges will enter into any discussion or correspondence regarding the outcome of any decision.
