Senior editorial members review and update categories annually to properly reflect changes in industry best practices, priorities and trends. We set requirements for detailed data, metrics and examples to help ensure that the nominees selected are the very best the industry has to offer.

PropertyCasualty360 works to ensure that its recognitions honor the absolute best that the industry has to offer, and the only way to do that is to ensure that we receive an array of relevant nominations that represent diverse backgrounds, geographies and organization types. We leverage the PropertyCasualty360 community in an effort to assure that a broad swath of the industry is aware of and participates in these recognitions.

In correspondence with the award's criteria, an independent panel of industry experts–possessing decades of market knowledge and expertise–utilize a scoring rubric and review all submissions before presenting a shortlist of finalists to our seasoned editors.  
Our esteemed advisory board members are extremely knowledgeable within the field, and they in no way directly compete with the work that is being judged. We require all judges to announce any conflicts and exclude themselves from categories where they feel bias may occur. 

PropertyCasualty360’a senior editors meticulously review all finalist submissions without bias to select the industry’s most influential professionals and organizations as the 2026 Insurance Luminaries winners.
