Global Awards Judging Underway

As soon as the deadline for submission of entries for the first dotCoop Global Awards for Cooperative Excellence passed on 15 June, it was clear that the international panel of judges would have a difficult task. More than 40 entries from all over the world were received from all types of co-ops.

Now the hard work has begun for the judges as they review the submissions from each entry which include not only the specific responses to the entry criteria but also the additional materials enclosed with the entries such as brochures, videos, financial reports and links to web sites. dotCoop is very thankful that our international panel of judges has found the time to assist in the selection process.

All entrants, including the category winners, will be notified by the end of September so that the three category winners will be able to make arrangements to be able to participate in the ICA meeting in Geneva, Switzerland.

Current plans call for the presentation to the winners to be made at the Welcome Reception on the evening of 18 November. DotCoop looks forward to sharing the submissions with the co-op world so that everyone can gain insight into the activities that winning co-ops undertake for their members.
