i. Aspirational (25%): Does the business demonstrate values such as dedication, community spirit, innovation or commitment in its support of its local community or EFL club? (out of 25)
ii. Demonstrated Impact (50%): Entries will be assessed on the positive impact the business has on its club and local community through the year but specifically during the festive season, including initiatives that support fans, residents, charitable causes, or community groups. (out of 50)
iii. Truly Inspirational (25%): Does the business have a compelling story that inspires others, demonstrating exceptional generosity, resilience, support or contribution to its community? (out of 25)
2. The 2 highest scoring shortlisted entries from each EFL club Competition Pool, based on a total score out of 100, will then be judged by a panel of judges, overseen by the Promotion Administrator using the same criteria. The panel will include at least one member who is independent of the Promoter. The entry receiving the highest overall score will be deemed the provisional winner of its EFL club Competition Pool. There will be a total of 72 provisional winners (1 per EFL club).
3. All provisional winners will be ranked within their respective league group (Sky Bet Championship, Sky Bet League One, or Sky Bet League Two) based on their final score out of 100. The highest scoring provisional winner in each league group will be deemed the Grand Prize provisional winner and will receive 1 x Grand Prize and 1 x Standard Prize. All other provisional winners in that league group (23 per league) will be deemed the Standard Prize provisional winners and will receive 1 x Standard Prize. There will be 3 Grand Prize provisional winners (1 per league), each of whom will also receive a Standard Prize, and 72 Standard Prizes awarded in total (24 per league).
4. In the event of a tie between one or more entries, the entry that receives the highest score in ‘Aspirational’ will be selected. If a tie still remains, the entry that receives the highest score in ‘Demonstrated Impact’ will be selected, followed by 'Truly Inspirational'. If a tie remains after applying all three criteria, the independent member of the judging panel will decide the winner.
5. Entries must achieve a minimum total score of 50 out of 100 to be eligible to win. If no entry in a Competition Pool meets this minimum score, the Prize for that Competition Pool will not be awarded.
