Tips for writing a winning award submission

Participating in Business or Industry related Awards can be a great marketing tool for businesses of any size.  Increased brand awareness, greater employee morale, as well as PR, marketing and networking opportunities are all benefits of being a finalist or winning an award - not to mention any great prizes associated with winning.  But the Award submission process can be tricky so here are a few tips to help make your entry stand out from the crowd.

• Be concise - there is no need to be wordy, just think how many entries the judges need to read, so be concise to get your message across.  
• Provide statistics and evidence to back up any claims in your entry. 
• Follow the judging criteria carefully - if the questions have a word limit of 200 - keep to that word limit, more is not better.
• Make sure your information is true - check your facts and present the evidence if possible. If not, have the evidence available as the judges may ask!
• Where possible provide photos, graphs and testimonials to enhance your submission.  Even consider the inclusion of a video - pictures can speak a thousand words. 
• If you need to provide references, ensure you have their permission and they have been briefed on what you are entering. Also ensure you include their current contact details. 
• Get your submission in on time - no matter what the excuse late entries are not accepted. 
• Often there is a discount on entry fees for getting your award submission in early.
• Ensure the entry is in the format requested eg length of document, printed or soft copies etc.
• Make sure to have copies of your company's bio, logos and staff profile pictures for any media opportunities presented by the Award organisers.
