TIPS FOR SUBMITTING A WINNING ENTRY

Keep to the word limit Focus on impact and effectiveness

Keep it simple and succinct – don’t overload or confuse with A winning submission needs more than just a good story; it must be
unnecessary details or layers. Share it with someone who is unfamiliar effective. Show how your business/project has impacted your target
with the project and seek their feedback. Did it hold their interest? audience by using data and relevant metrics.

Plan ahead Don’t just tell. Show

Crafting awards submissions isn’t an easy feat, so start as early
as possible and make sure you set aside ample time planning,
understanding the judging criteria carefully and laying out all the details
before you begin.
Showcase your business
This means in all of your answers you need to explain why your business
deserves to win the award, talk about your achievements and show the
judges how great your business/project is.
People usually retain 80% of what they see and only 20% of what they
read. Give the judges a front row seat to your campaign with images,
video links and statistics to add credibility and bring your story to life.
It also acts as a visual summary to help the judges remember your
business/project. Just like storytelling, be selective with how you present
your content. Choose the most interesting visuals that enhance or
complement – instead of complicate - your narrative.

Tell a story SUBMIT ONLINE

Developing an awards submission is more than just listing out the
business/project objectives and successes; it requires thoughtful
consideration.
Most entries focus on three areas: the problem, the idea/solution
and results. Instead of approaching them separately, use this as an
opportunity to intrigue and inspire the jury.
For young technical professional submissions, add a personal touch to
your application, showing your passions and interests.
