Judges engage in the task with no fiscal remuneration, as a service to the community, and abide by a strict code of ethics, which you can review here: http://www.artandolfactionawards.org/judges/ethics/.
In our nine years of operations, the Art and Olfaction Awards have been proven as an important arbiter of excellence for independent and artisan practitioners with scent. With our anonymized judging and impartial mechanism, the A+OA has become a challenging and rigorous standard for the community.
We are thrilled to launch the eighth edition of this community-driven, community-run event, and we look forward to another year spent assessing, celebrating, and furthering unfettered expression and creative risk in the field of independent perfumery.
