Judges for the StarTrack Online Retail Industry Awards represent a cross-section of the online retail community and have been specifically selected by the event organisers to ensure the highest standards and integrity are achieved.
The 2016 edition will see the introduction of the StartTrack ORIAS HALL OF FAME, an invitation-only honour to be bestowed upon those who have contributed and sustained excellence over the life of the awards.
‘This is an exciting new development, allowing us to induct Australian brands that have proven their excellence in the Retail Industry into the Hall of Fame, and give them permanent status as a member,’ says Alice Kuepper.
The judging process has been designed to ensure all entries are judged on their full merits, both professionally and impartially.
Jodie Fox, winner of last year’s International Conqueror award and Co-Founder of Shoes of Prey says ”The Online Retail Industry Awards are a brilliant night to meet and learn from Australia’s best and brightest in retail. Winning awards at the ORIAs from 2011 provided Shoes of Prey with recognition a young business can only dream of to start making a credible name for itself.”
