What you need to enter
You will be asked to detail your success in 500 words. Please ensure that you address each individual category criteria point in this supporting statement, as this is what the judges will be scoring against.
Provide evidence of your achievements with up to 200 words of results. Important note: When completing the section on your results, financial or otherwise, give context by comparing to previous years, your business plan, or the rest of the market. Any results given without context are hard to judge and may weaken the entry.
You will have the chance to upload three supporting documents, which can include full editions where space permits (max 40MB per document). If you are providing links to information behind a data or pay wall, please make sure to include login details for our judges. It goes without saying, but make sure your supporting documents best showcase the story you are trying to tell with your entry.
All information submitted will remain confidential and will only be used for the purpose of judging, unless we ask your permission to turn your entry into a case study.
