Experience. Perspective. Fair assessment.
Meet the people behind the judging.
AMC representatives chair the awards. A panel of members and non-members brings a wider professional perspective to recognising the work of Australian celebrants.
Representing the association
Your AMC Awards chairs.
Ash Reynolds and Jill Heaton represent Australian Marriage Celebrants in their roles as the awards chairs.
A broader professional perspective
Meet your judging panel.
The panel brings together AMC members and non-members, with experience across celebrancy and the wider wedding industry. This breadth of perspective matters: the awards recognise the work, whether or not the entrant is an AMC member.

Meet the judge →Show the work. Explain the choices.
Choose a category that fits your work, then explain the situation, your approach and what changed as a result. Specific examples are more useful than broad claims.
Each standard entry category page includes a fictional example entry and sample supporting material to help you see the level of detail to aim for.
Merit comes first.
Judges assess the work using the category’s assessment framework. Your AMC membership status and entry fees do not influence judging.
Judges must declare conflicts of interest and abstain from assessing relevant entries. The awards terms explain the judging process and participation rules.
