How to make a winning entry:

1. Each section of the entry form describes what the judges want hear. Please try and follow the format as it helps the judges evaluate the solution properly.

2. Be concise. The judges have a lot of entries to read through in a very short time. Try and use the number of words indicated in each section of the form. The form will allow as many words as you want to write but think carefully and don't waffle.

3. Don't just cut and paste case studies. Case studies tend to have lots of fluffy marketing words that don't mean anything in this context. Edit your case studies to answer the questions in each section, in that way you will pull out the key points for the judges.

4. The judges are not looking for the cleverest solution. They are looking for ones that deliver what the customer wanted and especially solutions that exceeded the customer expectation.

5. Size doesn't matter. A good solution doesn't have to be large scale. Many of the finalists and winners in the past have entered solutions for quite small clients. The reason they got to the finals was that their solution had a major impact on the organisation.

6. The judges are keen to see how you implemented the solution. Involve your Pre-sales people in describing the implementation. They are often the ones who have the passion about what they achieved. They can give the detail of how you overcame obstacles or tailored the solution to meet and exceed the client requirements.

7. Make sure you have an end user endorsement for the ISV and Solution Provider categories. Entries will not be accepted if they are not accompanied by the end user letter or email. It is key however to make sure the customer letter says what it was the solution did for them. Not just a 'well done' note.

8. Don't rush your entry. Take the time to reread and pass around within the business. Well crafted words do help.
