THE JUDGING PROCESS
STAGE ONE

The nominations for the long-list will come from two areas.
• Members of the Outlook audience will suggest people for nomination;
these will be researched and assessed by the Outlook team. Those who
meet the judging criteria will be added to the long-list.
• At the same time the Outlook team will go through the archives and
select nominees from guests who have previously appeared on the
programme dating back to 2nd May 2016 (this was the closing date for
submissions for Outlook Inspirations 2016).
Both those nominated by the audience and the Outlook team will be
assessed by the above judging criteria. There are no quotas for those
nominees who are previous Outlook guests and those who are new,
audience suggestions. But the total of nominees on the long-list will
be 20.
STAGE TWO
A panel of senior journalists from the BBC – from within and outside
the Outlook team – will then assess the nominations on the longlist as
per the criteria above and produce a shortlist of 10.
STAGE THREE

A panel of international judges will then assess the shortlist of 10
according to the above criteria and will select three final winners.
Their names will be publicly announced on 27th June 2018. If for any
reason any of those three final selected winners is disqualified, the
judges will also chose a runner-up to take their place.
8. Some nominations may be read out on air with interviews. These uses
of nominations will have no bearing on and be entirely separate from
the judging process. However all nominees must be willing to be
interviewed as a condition of their nomination.
9. The BBC Outlook team may contact both the nominator and nominee to
verify facts and/or events and whether the relevant consents have been
obtained. This should not be interpreted as anything other than an
information gathering exercise.
10. Further on-going research may be undertaken by the BBC Outlook
team. The nominee may be contacted and asked for relevant contacts to
assist this research. The BBC reserves the right to disqualify a
nominee if such contacts are not provided.
11. Nominees may be asked by the Outlook team in May and June 2018, at
shortlisting stage, to disclose details of any and all criminal and
civil actions pending against them, or served against them plus any
unspent convictions. Entrants asked for this information must keep the
BBC informed of any changes to that disclosed up to the point the
winner is announced. This information will be shared with the
editorial policy advisor for Outlook Inspirations and be handled in
the strictest confidence and as with all personal information, in
accordance with the BBC’s privacy policy. If asked to disclose, the
duty to disclose remains up until 27th June 2018: if anything relevant
occurs between the initial disclosure and 27th June 2018 entrants are
required to inform the BBC.
12. The judging panel will consist of a panel of high-profile,
international individuals. These will be confirmed nearer the date.
Judging will take place in May 2018.
13. The winners will be publicly announced on BBC World Service
Outlook and online on 27th June 2018. Where possible, winners will be
expected to accept the award in person, at the BBC, in London on the
day. The BBC will provide suitable accommodation, travel and meal
expenses as deemed necessary. For the avoidance of doubt no other fees
or costs will be provided by the BBC.
14. The BBC's decision as to the shortlist and winners is final. No
correspondence relating to the awards will be entered into.
15. If the winner is unable to be contacted after reasonable attempts
have been made; the BBC reserves the right to select a runner up to
replace them.
16. Each of the winners will receive an "Outlook" Award. There are no
prizes, no cash alternative and the award cannot be sold or
transferred in any circumstances.
17. Nominees must agree to take part in any post-award publicity if required.
18. Winners will be recorded with the intention of broadcasting those
contributions on TV and radio as well as using them on all other
platforms including online.

including but not limited to the opening and closing times of the
awards nominations period; (ii) disqualify any nominee who breaches
the rules or has acted fraudulently in any way; and (iii) cancel the
