BCO 2021 Entry Guide OCTOBER 2020 - Flipbook - Page 18
The
NEXT STAGE
All submissions will be assessed by a BCO regional awards judging
panel – a list of which can be found at www.bco.org.uk/judging
You will be contacted if your project has been successful and is to be visited by the
regional judges. Visits are scheduled to take place between January and February 2021.
If you go on to win a regional award, a visit by national judges will be arranged. Visits
are scheduled to take place in June and July 2021.
Whilst every effort is made to give as much notice as possible for the judges’ visits, it is
sometimes necessary to arrange these at short notice. Please note that judges’ schedules
are very tight and alternative dates are unlikely to be available. If a visit is cancelled at
short notice, the judges may not be able to reschedule.
The BCO reserves the right not to grant an award in any region or category if, in the
opinion of the judges, no scheme submitted reaches the necessary standard.
