A transparent, merit-based process. Every entry is assessed against tailored criteria by an independent panel of industry experts.

The Panel
Judges overview

As a cornerstone of the Asia Commercial Insurance Awards’ integrity-driven approach, we are proud to launch our inaugural awards programme with a diverse panel of experienced and respected judges.

Each award category is assessed using a transparent methodology, featuring rigorously tailored and weighted criteria. Our panel independently reviews every application to ensure a thorough, impartial, and merit-based selection process.

Coming soon
The 2026 judging panel will be revealed during the application period.

Methodology
Grading criteria

Each award category uses tailored and weighted criteria. Applications are evaluated and graded by our independent panel of judges on a 5-point scale.

The scale considers relevance, clarity, and the demonstration of excellence within the criterion, and is defined as follows:

5
Outstanding: Fully answers the question, is clear, and demonstrates excellence and best-in-class achievement for the criterion.

4
Strong: Clearly answers the question and shows above-average achievement, though may lack the exceptional distinction of a 5.

3
Satisfactory: Addresses the question and is relevant to the award, but may be missing depth, specific examples, or clear evidence of strong achievement.

2
Limited: Provides a basic or partial response with some relevant information, but would benefit from more detail, examples, or clearer alignment with the award criteria.

1
Insufficient: Offers limited information or clarity and does not demonstrate alignment with the award criteria or evidence of achievement.

Guidance
Crafting a winning entry

To achieve your highest possible score, your entry should:

1
Answer the question directly. Address each question on its own terms, fully and specifically, rather than reusing generic material.

2
Lead with your strongest results. Put your most meaningful achievements front and centre, and show the impact they delivered.

3
Be clear and concise. Make every point easy to follow, so the judges can grasp your case quickly.
