Judgement Day
The hard work is over .. and all the Loerie finalists have been announced.
Last week Thursday the digital panel met at The Grand Daddy hotel to cast their votes. This year the Loerie committee entered the digital age with the procedure by introducing electronic judging. Each jury member received an iTouch device (basically an iPod Touch – but there was very little time to listen to music) with a Loerie App that logged onto the voting site. Each finalist was then reviewed and the votes were cast (in private).
I was concerned that we would not have time to get through all 101 entries, but Andrew Human runs a tight ship. By 5:15pm we were ready for cocktails. Kudu’s must go to the panel this year for keeping the atmosphere professional, mature and with much needed humour.
I look forward to seeing the results on 24 September in Cape Town.
