Central to what makes it so special, an Ivor Novello is a peer-recognition award at heart. The nominated award categories are judged by individual panels of established classical composers, sound artists and practitioners within contemporary new music. The gift of the Academy awards are chosen by the Awards Committee, a sub-committee of The Ivors Academy Board, which is also exclusively populated by songwriters and composers.
