Select the right awards category based on your strengths.  

Here's an important bit - STICK TO ANSWERING THE ENTRY CRITERIA.  We have seen solid and ex event organisations have their entry marked down because they did not directly answer the entry questions.  For exams, if the Question asks about sustainability credentials don't respond with details of employee diversity achievements.  Stick to answering the questions. Don't respond to questions that haven't been asked. Use plain English and steer clear of jargon.

Information that gives your entry the best chance of a win includes independent testimonials,  turnover and profit KPI's, published reviews etc. Although the judges are mobile industry experts don’t assume they know every detail about your sector or product.

The British Chamber of Commerce offers an excellent advice on how to enter and win awards here.
