Ready to get started with your application? Here are our top tips for submitting
your entry. Good luck!

Don’t miss the deadline. Check your geographic region’s closing date for
applications so you have enough time to showcase your achievements.

Check your eligibility.  Your business must have fewer than 250 full time
equivalent employees (or 9 for the Micro Business category). Your business
must be based (or have your head office) in the UK.

Choose the right category for you. There’s 12 to pick from, so play to your
strengths and enter a category that reflects your business.

Entering more than one category? Tailor your answers to each category, as the
judges will be scoring against specific criteria. 

Read the criteria. Take your time to understand the questions and address each
point clearly.

Keep to the limit. Questions will have a word limit, so you have a limited space
to grab attention.

Tell your story. What makes your business stand out from the crowd?

Focus on the facts. How has your business grown in the last 12 months? What
successes or achievements have you had?

Presentation is key. Use sub-headings and bullet points where necessary and
ensure your entry is well structured. Don’t forget to proofread.

Include relevant attachments. Paint a fuller picture of your business with
customer testimonials or a link to your website.

Be passionate! Most of all, our judges want to see your enthusiasm about your
business shine through in your entry.

Write it up beforehand! Write up a draft entry before you enter it to our site,
so you have something to come back to if you lose your content.

Give us relevant evidence. Use your supporting documentation to paint a fuller
picture of your business, and make sure it is relevant to your entry

Check your copy! What you write may appear in our programmes, so please do make
sure it makes sense.
