Frequently Asked Questions
Is there a word limit for entries?
There is no strict word limit. However, your entry should be clear and concise and address the questions fully. Each section of the entry is marked out of 100, so it's essential to provide detailed responses supported by evidence. The more precise your answers, the better your chances of scoring highly.
What are the judges looking for?
Judges appreciate well-rounded responses with robust supporting evidence. This could include statistics, year-on-year comparisons, sales records, screenshots, or client testimonials. Ensure your submission tells a compelling story about your project or team, backed up by data where relevant.
What images should I attach to my entry?
Each entry should include a "Main Image" for the programme's marketing materials. Additionally, you can attach up to four high-resolution images to showcase the property or project. These images should be visually striking and reflective of the quality of your work.
Can I enter multiple categories?
Yes, you can enter multiple categories. However, avoid copying and pasting answers across different categories. Tailor each entry to highlight how it meets the specific criteria for that category, ensuring a fresh, unique approach for every submission.
Tips and Tricks to Help You Stand Out in the Competition
Criteria First:
Review the category criteria thoroughly and ensure your entry covers every point. It can be helpful to use the criteria as headings in your submission, guiding the reader through each section clearly.
Clarity is Key:
Keep your writing clear, concise, and focused. Avoid jargon and ensure your answers provide a full explanation without unnecessary fluff. Be sure your submission tells the story of your team's or individual's achievements.
Support with Testimonials:
Testimonials can add significant weight to your entry. Consider including feedback from clients, suppliers, or staff that speaks to the success of your project or team. Where possible, provide testimonials with named individuals to add credibility.
Show Your Success:
Highlight the challenges you overcame and demonstrate how your team worked collaboratively to achieve success. Judges seek innovative solutions and strong results, so showcase these clearly.
Proofread and Refine:
Take the time to triple-check your submission for grammatical errors, spelling mistakes, and clarity. A well-written, polished entry will ensure that nothing detracts from the strength of your nomination.
