Site judging
Fieldays visitors are a key part of the judging process!
Including visitors in the judging of site awards offers a dynamic and engaging way to enhance attendee participation. It creates a sense of ownership and involvement, making the event more interactive and memorable. All Award entrants will receive access to social media templates to promote their entry and encourage public voting.
Visitors can lend their unique perspectives, which fosters a diverse range of opinions, ensuring that awards are reflective of a broader audience. Additionally, empowering guests to judge fosters a deeper connection to the event's purpose and encourages a more immersive experience.
Visitors will be able to vote until 5pm Friday 12 June, with the top 3 sites from each category being reviewed by our panel of Judges on the morning of Saturday 13 June.
Site Award prizes
Each category winner will receive a framed award certificate, online collateral for social media and their websites to promote their success, and a $500 credit (excluding GST) toward their site fees for Fieldays 2027*. These awards will be presented to the winners at their sites on Saturday afternoon.
