Entry Instructions
Entry to the Awards is free of charge. All entries must be written in English.

If you are entering more than one award, you will need to complete one online form for each award category.

The word count for each entry is restricted to 600 words max. Please do not attempt to exceed this limit or attach pdfs or other files to your entry – the entry template will not allow you to do this. (Further supporting material will be requested for submissions that are shortlisted for the final stage of judging.)

All company information / product details and names of reference clients included in applications are strictly confidential.

Quality Control
Please note that the quality of your entry has a key bearing on the outcome. Submissions that have been tailored specifically to ensure relevance to the awards stand a greater chance of success than entries that are based on generic company information cut from a corporate website or annual report. The quality and verifiability of supporting information such as statistics or references will also have a bearing.
