Your Voice Matters. Become a 2026 Diamond Awards Judge.
The Diamond Awards are only possible with the dedication of volunteer judges like you. By applying to be a judge, you’ll help highlight the creativity, strategy, and impact that drive credit union success stories nationwide.
A panel consisting of a minimum of three judges is assembled for each category. Judges score each entry independently of one another, based on specific criteria and score values assigned to that category. Judges are not made aware of the identity of one another in their respective categories and cannot compare notes or scores.
Judges and their respective credit unions are allowed to submit Diamond Awards applications; however, judges may not judge any entries within categories they are judging and must abide by the rules established for all entrants.
One of the benefits of being a judge is to see firsthand the creativity and innovative efforts that your peers employ.
