Judging for Mobius Awards involves international panels in a variety of countries, and, in most cases, multiple panels for a medium. Judging panels in the past have included Lisa Charlebois of Ogilvy New York, Diane Toops of Food Processing magazine in Illinois, Sander Volten of Euro RSCG 4D in Amsterdam, Guido Heffels of Heimat, Berlin, and  Normand Miron of Ogilvy 2B Interactive in Montreal.

Judges are asked to look at each entry on its own merit and to select winners based on the entry’s merits, including effectiveness and creativity. This means there can be multiple First Place winners. It also means that no Best of Show is awarded in a medium if no  winner in that group stands out from other winners.
