Judging Criteria

The judges will seek to identify younger planners who can be promoted as role models. They must have been born on or after 1 January 1975, have achieved a great deal in their career when compared with their contemporaries, and promise even more for the future. Candidates at the date of entry and of presentation must be members of the Institute (either a Student, Licentiate, Technical, Associate, Chartered, Fellow or a Legal Associate). In evaluating the candidates, the judges will take the following into account, as appropriate:
• The quality and reliability of their professional work
• The range and variety of their planning experience
• Involvement with professional institutes, associates, networks, events, outreach work or relevant voluntary activity
• Their enthusiasm and originality of approach
• Their personal and teamworking skills
• Their commitment to continuing professional development
• Most importantly, the extent to which they serve as a role model for other young professionals.

A maximum of five entrants will be shortlisted and notified in late October. They may be approached by the judges at this point for further information, but there will be no interview as such. Short profiles of the candidates will appear in ‘Planning’ in November and their entry material will be placed on the Institute website at the same time. From this point all Institute members will be invited to vote for their preferred candidate electronically or by post. The winner will be announced at the RTPI Planning Awards ceremony on 4 February 2010 a the London Hilton, for which all shortlisted candidates will receive a complimentary invitation as guests of the RTPI.
