10 tips for entering international awards
July 11, 2024If you want to win an award, the key is proof. Your entry will need strong evidence to convince the most scrutinising awards judge that you’re the standout winner amongst your peers.
Whether you want to try writing an entry yourself or decide to save yourself time and effort use Award Writers, this blog will help you identify and collect the evidence you’ll need for your award entry submission.
At Awards Writers we know what judges are looking for in your submission, adding our creative flare to maximise your chances of winning. That includes the below five things you need to do:
Five things you need to do:
Evaluation planning
Awards broadly fall into four categories: business or project, people or team, innovation, and everything else. You will need to identify what you need to measure, how, and when. You need to critically assess whether what you think could be an award-winning entry. Good isn’t always good enough; the bar will be set high, so be selective about where you want to focus your efforts.
Customer/employee/stakeholder surveys
Create quality surveys that ask the right questions of your customers, employees or stakeholders and quantify the real impact that will make your entry stronger. This data can be used later, to show how you stand out from your competitors.
Stakeholder interviews
Gather survey responses and testimonials to provide colour and a human aspect to your submission. This tactic resonates with your judges and can really strengthen your entry.
Data analysis and reporting
Evidence is your best friend. Assess the impact of your project, strategy, or initiative, and present the findings with clear visuals that will draw the judges’ attention.
Give yourself time
At Awards Writers we recommend leaving at least six to eight weeks for each entry, especially if you’re working with us as your partner. Make sure you have ample time to prepare your entry as deadlines always come around quicker than you think. A good way to do this is by working backward from the deadline. This is where having an award strategy for the year ahead doesn’t hurt.
All this information will help make your entry strong, and detailed and stand out against your competitors. With expert award writers at your fingertips, get in touch today to discuss your award goals.
