All category Awards judging will be carried out online between 12 and 26 February, 2024. There is no physical judging or exhibition for the 2023 program.

More than 90 senior industry representatives judge the Shop! ANZ Awards each year.  Applicants have a minimum five years of experience in retail marketing, although many of our judges have 25. Judges are divided into teams with representation from all areas of the industry, including retailer, brand, POP, agency, and shopper insights.

No judge can judge a category their company has entered and Current Shop! Board Members are not permitted to judge.
