Allianz Business to Arts Awards 2012
Judging Criteria & Rules
Judging Criteria
The Allianz Business to Arts Awards 2012 seek to recognise and encourage imaginative and effective business involvement with the arts. The primary concern of the judges will be to evaluate each nomination by reference to its level of success and creativity in achieving both the business’ and arts organisation’s (or individual artist’s) objectives.
Other criteria to be considered:
• Innovation, collaboration, partnership
• Good practice providing benefits to the business commensurate with the costs of the project and which contribute to the aims and objectives of the artist or arts organisation
• The successful development of a mutually beneficial partnership between a business and an arts organisation or artist
The judges will apply these criteria irrespective of the scale or financial value of the partnership.
