Judges

Our esteemed panel of judges who include the great and good from both within and outside the local government sector alongside a number of past winners of the awards.

The LGC Awards pride themselves on their rigorous judging process, where every entry is read by our panel of 100+ judges before creating a shortlist.

In stage two of judging, shortlisted entrants will present their entries to the panel of judges for deliberation. This is in-person at our London offices.

The judges dedicate their time and energy to the awards, with many returning to help us every year. We just want to say a huge thank you to our judging panel for their hard work and commitment.

The judges for 2026 will be announced shortly
