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: the first annual increase to the Payment Standards took effect on 1 July 2024. We appreciate it may take some organisations time to adjust.
