• Keep to the word limit: Keep it simple and succinct – don’t overload or confuse with unnecessary details or layers. Share it with someone who is unfamiliar with the project and seek their feedback. Did it hold their interest?
• Plan ahead: Crafting awards submissions isn’t an easy feat, so start as early as possible and make sure you set aside ample time planning, understanding the judging criteria carefully and laying out all the details before you begin.
• Showcase your business: This means in all of your answers you need to explain why your business deserves to win the award, talk about your achievements and show the judges how great your business/project is.
• Tell a story: Developing an awards submission is more than just listing out the business/project objectives and successes; it requires thoughtful consideration. Most entries focus on three areas: the problem, the idea/solution and results. Instead of approaching them separately, use this as an opportunity to intrigue and inspire the jury. For young technical professional submissions, add a personal touch to your application, showing your passions and interests.
• Focus on impact and effectiveness: A winning submission needs more than just a good story; it must be effective. Show how your business/project has impacted your target audience by using data and relevant metrics.
• Don’t just tell. Show: People usually retain 80% of what they see and only 20% of what they read. Give the judges a front row seat to your campaign with images, video links and statistics to add credibility and bring your story to life. It also acts as a visual summary to help the judges remember your business/project. Just like storytelling, be selective with how you present your content. Choose the most interesting visuals that enhance or complement - instead of complicate - your narrative.
