Top Tips
This is your chance to tell your story. All good stories have a structure so remember to structure your entry along the following lines:
Beginning: Provide the judges with information on the challenges you have overcome and your unique approach to creating impact and measurable results
Middle: Back up your claims with data and real-world outcomes. Whether it's improved performance, cost savings, or sustainability achievements, show your success through clear metrics and examples
End: What makes you stand out from other organisations and why should you win?
To ensure that your submission is your best work, take a look at our hints and tips below before you start your entry:
Make a note of the deadline: you must submit your entry by 25 April 2025 so make sure you have this date in mind – write it in your diary or on your calendar, or set notifications on your phone to ensure you don't miss the chance to enter
Preparation is key: now that you know the deadline, allow yourself plenty of time to write, develop and submit your entry – coming back to it with a fresh pair of eyes can help you remember important details that may make the difference between being shortlisted and just missing out
Make the judges' job easy: write in clear, plain English, avoid too much jargon and use bullet points where appropriate to break up the text
Pay attention to grammar and spelling: poorly presented entries lack credibility so don't lose out on being shortlisted on something you could have easily avoided
Involve the right people: involve your team in developing the entry and consider asking colleagues outside of the project or initiative to review as they will often see the great work you do that you might overlook
Back up your entry: take advantage of the option to attach documents to support your entry with useful information that will help the judges to understand the impact of your work and career to date
Proofread, proofread, proofread: ask someone else, such as a colleague, friend or manager, to look through your entry before you submit. Often a fresh set of eyes that does not have detailed knowledge of the entry may suggest ways to clarify your submission
