[callout1] The Peer Awards cover Corporate Responsibility, Customer Engagement and People & Performance, substantial and distinctive awards in their own right.

This breaks down to a number of categories with between three and six shortlisted finalists each.

The conference offers a choice of morning and afternoon sessions. All the speakers at a session are the three to six finalists shortlisted for an award category. All the people attending a session are the judges for that category.

At the awards ceremony we declare a winner for each category, for each industry sector represented and for each judging criterion. There is also an award for the overall winner.[/callout1]

The Categories
All the award categories are judged at the same conference day, each has its own section in the supplement in The Independent, each will have its own section at The Times website, and each has its own award winner.
