Like all stages of our judging process, our Grand Jury operates under strict rules, which have evolved over time to ensure the fairest possible consideration of potential awards winners during the Grand Jury round.

You can find our Grand Jury rules here (PDF), or in the preview window below. These are the rules provided to our Grand Jury members at each competition.

As with all our categories and rules, the Grand Jury round rules are constantly reviewed for improvements or changes that will help to make the International Chocolate Awards as fair and transparent as possible.
