Judging information

Following a pre-selection round, the top 19 entries were retained to go through to Round II, during which the Jury met to evaluate the finalist cases. Round II took place at the European Parliament on 27th April 2010. The pre-selection committee reserved the right to disqualify a campaign which is seen as greenwash.

The jury considered a shortlist of campaigns drawn from direct submissions by agencies and through the ACT Responsible Online Gallery and decided on the winning entries in a range of categories.

The initial announcement of the winners and the presentation of the prizes took place at the European Parliament in Brussels on 23rd June 2010, in order to give this celebration the institutional visibility it deserves.

Who is on the Jury?

The EACA Care Awards 2010 was judged by a panel of Members of the European Parliament (MEPs) chaired by German MEP Thomas Mann (European Peoples’ Party), together with other MEP’s, representatives of media, agencies and stakeholders.
