MEET THE ACADEMY

Once the shortlist has been decided, the TPiMEA Academy votes on each category, with their choices combined with the industry vote to select the winners.

Largely made up of the winners of the previous year’s Awards, the Academy serves as part of the voting panel for one year, putting them out of the running for the TPiMEA Awards 2025.
