The CMA Awards is judged exclusively by senior client-side marketers and communications professionals from across the construction and built environment sector.
Bringing together expertise from manufacturers, consultants, technology providers, certification bodies and media organisations, the panel reflects the breadth of the industry and the diverse skills required to deliver effective marketing today.
Overseeing the process is Ross Sturley, Principal at Chart Lane Consultants, who serves as Chair of Judges. Ross is responsible for ensuring the judging process remains fair, consistent and impartial, supporting judges as they assess entries against the published criteria and helping maintain the high standards for which the CMA Awards is known.
These are the judges who will decide the winners of the 2026 CMA Awards
Each category is assessed by a dedicated panel of judges, with entries reviewed against clearly defined and equally weighted criteria. Judges only have access to the categories allocated to them, and conflicts of interest are carefully managed to ensure a fair and independent process.
The judging process combines independent scoring with panel discussions, allowing judges to compare perspectives, challenge assumptions and identify the work that has delivered genuine impact.
Together, the panel represents some of the most experienced marketing, communications and business development professionals working in the built environment today.
The closing date is Friday September 11, 2026
