How to win
It’s all about being memorable and compelling:
- Start early. Give yourself plenty of time to carefully evaluate the criteria for the categories you’re entering and provide a well-produced submission before the entry deadline.
- Check the criteria. Each category has its own criteria, and each submission should be unique.
- Provide evidence. Include as many results and evidence of success as you can, including testimonials. Judges are there to be swayed, so sway them.
- Keep it simple. Write or speak clearly and concisely so the judges can quickly understand the points you’re making.
- Consult with the relevant team. Collaborate on your submission as you do your work, and ensure that your whole team contributes.
- Be enthusiastic, transparent, and honest. Inspire the judges by sharing your organisation’s ethos and passion for your work without trying to pull the wool over their eyes. Honesty is the best policy.
- Redraft and revise. Once your submission is ready, start again and interrogate every fact and figure. Are they correct? Question every claim. Is that true? Weigh your language. Is that a helpful term or an empty buzzword?
