How TOP WEDDING
AWARDS Works
A MERIT-BASED PROFESSIONAL RANKING AND ANNUAL AWARDS FOR THE EUROPEAN WEDDING INDUSTRY
THE CONCEPT
TOP WEDDING AWARDS is a European professional ranking and annual awards ceremony for every specialist in the wedding industry — photographers, videographers, agencies, venues, decorators, stylists, hosts and more.
OUR HYBRID ECOSYSTEM:
PROFESSIONAL RATING + THE GRAND GALA
COMBINING AN INDEPENDENT DIGITAL AUDIT OF YOUR WORK WITH HIGH-END NETWORKING.
Your work is judged by an independent two-tier Jury Panel of industry insiders — owners of leading wedding agencies, influencers and key trendsetters. These are the people who hire vendors and set the standards for the premium segment.

HOW JUDGING WORKS
ROUND 1 — GRAND JURY
A large panel of verified industry professionals reviews and scores every entry in its category. Their combined verdict determines the Top 10 finalists of each category.
ROUND 2 — MAIN JURY
A focused senior panel then evaluates only the finalists. For the Top 10, the final position is the average of the Grand Jury and Main Jury scores.
SCORING CRITERIA
Every entry is scored 1–10 on four criteria — Relevance, Artistic Value, Integrity and Overall Impression (40 points max), tailored to each category.
MERIT-BASED RANKING
Rankings are strictly not for sale. Positions are determined solely by the total scores derived from objective evaluation criteria.
INDEPENDENT JURY PANEL
An entirely independent commission of market professionals. Results depend exclusively on the unbiased verdicts of experts.
FREE, THEN PAID ENTRY
Participation is free until the season's submission deadline. After it, a standard fee covers administration and the jury's time — it grants entry, never a position.
