Make sure your business stands out by putting together a winning entry

Entering business awards can often be a daunting task but it doesn’t have to be.

To help you make sure your entry gets the recognition it deserves, we have come up with a few great tips on how to put together an inspiring entry the judges will remember:

Read the criteria thoroughly then read them again. When writing a submission it is easy to get side tracked.

The submission must be factual and easy to read. The judges have a lot of information to digest so make it as easy as possible.

Get a second opinion. Writing a submission can be intensive and the person writing it can become too close to the project.

Have someone proofread it, or go back to it after a couple of days.

Provide evidence: put together a solid case with evidence. You can supply two pieces of quantitative supporting documentation, from graphs and charts to marketing literature or testimonials.

Tell the story make it an inspiring read, written from the heart. If you are passionate about your business it will come through.

Of course, an essential factor not to forget is to make sure your entry is submitted on time.
