Every year we’re asked questions about creating Business Awards applications. What should I include? What should my application look like? What did the winners’ include last year?
It can be a little bit daunting entering the Awards for the first time, but there’s no need to worry. Here’s a list of our top tips that’ll help you put together a winning entry:
Results, results!
Judges want to see how your initiatives have performed, not just what they were. Find a way to weave your results through all parts of your entry. Think costs and return on investment. Let the figures communicate the great job done!
Use your creativity.
You know your brand better than anyone, and it’s great when an entry really gives the judges a sense of your personality, style and who you are.
Keep it brief.
Use simple language to tell your story and keep it concise. Focus on the the things that you know matter in order to best answer the questions.
Use testimonials.
Ask customers, suppliers and business partners to support you by sharing their stories about how your business has made a difference to them.
Don’t forget to proofread.
Give yourself plenty of time (the deadline is August 31st) to have someone review and proofread your entry. It’s the little things that count.
And don’t forget to congratulate yourself for all the hard work you’ve done leading up to submitting your entry – it’s something to be proud of.
