Thank you for your commitment to judge the Australian Mortgage Awards 2024.

We value your contribution and assistance to ensure the integrity and rigour of these important awards.

The Australian Mortgage Awards team has now reviewed the submissions and identified the excellence awardees in each category.

All excellence awardees have completed a submission that responds to the category criteria. They may have also included supporting documentation. Your role as a judge is to score each Excellence Awardee. The nominee with the highest score in each category will be the overall winner.

Excellence Awardees were announced on Monday 12 August 2024, and the overall winners will be announced at the awards ceremony on Friday 18 October The Star Event Centre, in Sydney.
