Begin the submission as early as possible, aiming to complete well within the deadline. Read all the entry questions and the prompt notes carefully before constructing your answer. Take the time to review what you have written and revisit the submission before sending.
Answer the entry questions in a clear and concise manner. Ensure the submission is reader-friendly and avoid industry jargon as the judges may not be familiar with certain phrases or acronyms. Be aware not to exceed the word count.
Use facts and figures to back up your claims and comments, for example with customer ratings or business stats. Remember, the entry form is one of the main pieces of evidence the judges use to shortlist – make it as easy as possible for them to distinguish between the large number of entries.
Provide clear directions or links to any digital or online pieces of evidence (e.g. websites, reviews, media, content, YouTube clips, Google alerts) which will help the judges to independently verify your evidence. Ensure you are tracking and interacting with business reviews – both positive and negative – for example through TripAdvisor, Facebook, etc.
