2023 Engineering Excellence Awards Submissions for Judges

Instructions for Judging

Hello Judges,

Thank you for agreeing to serve as a judge in this year's competition - on behalf of our Board of Directors, we are grateful for your time and expertise.
 
Please make sure and familiarize yourself with the Judging Criteria and its corresponding Judging Spreadsheet.

Your mission: 

1) Download (See attached file) the Judging Spreadsheet and place your name at the top.  Save this locally to your computer until you are ready to submit all your scores into our office. 

2) Click on each project and open the corresponding file to make your review.  Once you have scored the project, close it out and move on to the next one.  This is meant to be done at your own pace, so if you get into a groove and knock them all out at once, please feel free to submit your scores when you are done.

​For those projects you might have knowledge of, please simply recuse yourself and skip scoring that project so that your scores will not be included in our judges scoring tally.
 
3) Return the spreadsheet back to us at info@acecmw.org by November 19th at the very latest.  Sooner is fine with us.

4) We will have a Judges meeting to discuss the scores.  Date TBD.

Note that the Grand Award winners will not be made public until the night of the gala, which will be on December 14, 2023 at The Mayflower Hotel.

If at any time you have questions, please feel free to send a note and we can direct you.  
 
Thanks again for your time, and have at it!
