• A small group of experts (drawn from the core team) pre-processed all the entries, weeding out those that didn’t qualify and applying a traffic light system. This formed a key part of the package the judges received in advance of the judging days (alongside the actual entries). The pre-material proved very helpful to judges to understand aspects of the competition that were beyond their professional or personal experience.
• This expert team also formed a secretariat for the judging process. This secretariat proved an important resource: backstopping the judging process (documenting sessions, minutes are important for probity); supporting the chairperson with meeting management (time keeping); and enabling the judges to interrogate the traffic light system (and accept / reject as a panel). The judges valued the secretariat being a non-intrusive resource.
• Kevin McCloud provided input via videoconferencing on several occasions - this helped to engage him as part of the team and provide his valuable input to the judging process whilst keeping his time commitments to a minimum and saving on the cost and carbon of flying him to New Zealand.
