Judging and Assessing

These fees are for the payment of a judge or peer assessor for the time and expertise taken in assessing prizes, competitions and grants.

Travel expenses should be reimbursed.

Where a judge is an employee of an arts organisation and undertaking judging as part of their employment, it is at the discretion of that organisation whether the judges fee is waived.

Note: a scheduled annual increase to the Payment Standards was applied on 1 July 2025. We acknowledge that some organisations may need time to adapt.
