Judges and Judging Criteria
All entries will be assessed by a panel of three judges. The judging panel will comprise:
- one young water professional as nominated by the Chair of the Technical Committee;
- one Water New Zealand representative as nominated by the President; and
- one industry representative nominated by Water New Zealand's premier sponsors (from an organisation without a nominee for this award).
The judges reserve the right to not offer the award, or to offer an additional certificate of achievement, depending on the quality of entries. The judge's decision will be final. The successful candidate will be endorsed by the Technical Committee of Water New Zealand prior to announcement at the annual conference.
Prize
The total value of the package is currently $2500.00. The Young Water Professional of the Year will receive a significant prize, including a suitable trophy, cash or in-kind goods or services, and a certificate of achievement.
