They will scrutinise each nomination and advise the Chairman of their preferred entry. If this process results in a tied vote the Chairman will then make the casting decision.
The panel will also confirm that the investigation has sufficient gravitas to be considered worthy of this prestigious Award.
The Award Panel members will remain anonymous throughout the process.
