Judged Corporate Award Categories

Please allow adequate time to complete the submission as each award category has a set of questions that will ensure all nominees are fairly judged.

Submit your evidence

The Judging Process

Our esteemed panel of judges will meet to go through our evidence submissions and deliberate on a winner for specific award categories. We have collated various business leaders and diversity specialists for this task, and each member of the panel is heavily invested in ethnicity and the Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic agenda, both in the workplace and the wider community.

Following acceptance of a shortlisting, you will be asked to submit your evidence to support your nomination using a form sent to you by email. The submission must be received no later than 9am on Friday 18th July 2025.

Your answers will not be shared beyond the judging panel. Judges are required to sign an NDA agreement to keep the information confidential.

Submit your evidence – Deadline: Friday 18th July 2025

A panel of judges independently review evidence submitted by each shortlisted nominee in order to determine the winner of each business award category. We therefore require evidence to support your shortlisted position and consider you in your recognised award category.  Your answers will not be shared beyond the judging panel and SPM staff. Judges are required to sign an NDA agreement to keep the information confidential.

Key facts

Previous public award winners included Alison Hammond, Alex Scott, Lenny Henry and cricketer Azeem Rafiq.

Our corporate winners are determined via a judging committee based upon submitted evidence. The Outstanding Employer Award & Innovation Award is determined by the Investing in Ethnicity Maturity Matrix.
