MEET OUR EVALUATORS
We are expecting exciting, innovative and diverse nominations from around META, some related to the pandemic directly or indirectly, and others that have no connection to it, but a strong connection to our Purpose.
Evaluators will draw on both their leadership and cultural expertise to evaluate the entries. At the META Semi-Finals, the functional expertise of evaluators will also be leveraged, to ensure the most impactful projects progress.
