Caterer Middle East is committed to a fair and transparent process, and the expert panel is picked on the basis that they are members of the F&B industry with sector knowledge, who do not have a bias towards the entries, and are not directly related to them.
Additionally, judges are carefully selected to avoid a conflict of interest with any nominations and they are asked to declare any potential conflict immediately, with their vote not being counted for that particular category.
The shortlist will be announced later this month on www.hoteliermiddleeast.com and a judging session will take place in early May to determine the winners in all 16 categories.
