The Jury

Jury members may already be existing members of the British Comedy Academy.

It is the responsibility of the Academy chairperson to ensure that, when inviting persons to stand, no one organisation connected via their business backgrounds could become a majority influence.

Jury members do not participate in voting upon categories where there is a direct conflict of interest.
