ENTERING AWARDS CAN BOOST YOUR BUSINESS PROFILE. FACT.

So, what makes a great entry and what’s in it for the winners? Below are some hints and tips to ensure you make the best submission possible!

STAY ON POINT

Make sure your answer addresses the question directly and stay on topic.

DON’T SKIP QUESTIONS

Sounds obvious, right?

You’d be surprised how many people skip questions! Every question left unanswered results in a judge marking down your application.

STICK TO THE WORD COUNT

Be concise – you have a limited space to grab the attention of the judges!

QUANTIFY RESULTS

Give facts and figures. Winning entries always show proof of the claims they’re making.
