Perhaps what strikes one is the sheer scale of things - in my case 17 world-class media judges, looking at over 800 entries, divided into a number of categories. We were broken down into 3 groups initially, each of whom "filtered" only specific categories - the group I was involved in did TV Media entries, Radio Media entries, and Events, Sponsorships and New Media. 3 days from 09h00 to 18h00. On days 4 and 5 (again 09h00 to 18h00) all 17 judges looked at all the filtered entries, finally coming up with 22 Lions.
Observations?
A wonderful experience, that seriously taught me, you're never too old to learn. And I learnt a lot !
