All entries to the International Eyes & Ears Awards will be judged in one of the 3 expert juries. Each expert jury consists of a maximum of 15 members of Eyes & Ears of Europe. The expert juries nominate 3 finalists in each category for the final jury. The final judging takes place online.

Members who apply as jurors must work in the relevant field and have several years of professional experience. This is to ensure that all jurors can competently assess the respective technical aspects for the areas 'Design', 'Digital' and 'Promotion' & 'Cross-Media Campaigns'. Please send a short CV with your application showing your professional competence.

Each institutional member may send a maximum of one representative per expert jury. In addition, every full, personal member - with the exception of student and reduced individual members - can apply for the expert juries.

The final judging takes place by the online jury. Each institutional member has the opportunity to appoint a technically competent representative as a juror for each of the four specialist areas 'Design', 'Digital', 'Promotion' and 'Cross-Media Campaigns' of the online jury. It is therefore possible to nominate up to four employees per institutional member, whereby these employees must be named as members of Eyes & Ears. Please indicate in your application for the online final jury the area for which you would like to judge. In addition, every full, personal member can apply for the online jury.
