JUDGING PANEL
JUDGING
The OPP Awards 2012 judging panel will comprise fifty industry leaders from across the world. The full detail will be
available on the OPP Awards website www.opp-connect.com/awards along with short biographies detailing their
key industry achievements.
JUDGING PROCESS
The judging process is strictly adhered to under the judging panel Charimanship of the OPP Editorial Director, John
Howell. The entry deadline is 3rd August. Once the entries are received they are allocated to judges according to
the category, the specialty of the judge, any potential conflicts of interest and also to ensure that the judges have a
realistic number of entries to judge.
PARTNERS & SUPPORTERS The main sponsors of The OPP Awards 2012 are Smart Currency Exchange and
SPONSORS
Right Move Overseas. Both companies are recognized by consumers and the trade alike as being leaders in their
own fields. We are delighted to welcome them as sponsors for the first time this year.
Rightmove Overseas supplies buyers for companies and individuals
who sell property outside of the UK. In the first quarter of 2012, over
1.4m unique users visited the company’s website,
www.rightmoveoverseas.co.uk, which contributed to over 26,000 buyer enquiries being sent to their advertisers.
A strong marketing campaign including big investment in SEO, promotion at key overseas property exhibitions in
the UK and also strategic advertising at Stansted airport all help Rightmove Overseas maintain its position as the
industry leader. Rightmove Overseas is part of Rightmove.co.uk which has regularly been in the top 10 most visited
websites in the UK.
Smart Currency Exchange is a currency exchange specialist which helps clients,
both private individuals and companies, to effectively and efficiently send and
receive payments internationally. The company markets direct to consumers via
the Internet, exhibitions, the media and various partners, including Rightmove
Overseas, but it also has a growing network of partners and affiliates, predominantly overseas property agents and
developers, who introduce their clients to Smart. Smart’s partnership scheme is based on a revenue share - com-
mission rewards. In some instances partners earn commission from Smart even when clients introduced by them
don’t buy a property through them, thus still generating an income.
To be recognized as a “winner” amongst significant competition is an honour in itself. We don’t only tell the world
BENEFITS
who won but very importantly we will be telling people why they won. The benefits of winning are numerous and
range from attracting more partners through to negotiating stronger commissions or agency terms.
