Entry Tips
Tips for your Main Entry
Forms should include all the information needed by the judges to make a decision, plus a user commendation. The judges will look for a measurable result delivered by the solution. The entry does not require great technical detail; a basic explanation of tools and techniques should suffice.
- Add a customer testimonial which is used to confirm the nature of the project and its deliverable results.
- One key to a successful entry is that measurable result - sometimes as part of the customer testimonial - which indicates the value of the project in some form. It can be a measure of productivity, time or cost savings, ability to expand or do more with existing technologies or some other measure.
- Don't worry too much about the exact category; the judges will copy entries into other areas deemed relevant. In previous years, some companies have been finalists in categories they had not primarily entered.
- Enter more than one project if you have them, but as separate entries.
- Enter more than one category, but just indicate this on the form, or copy across to other categories.
- If your client doesn't want to be publicly named, just mark this area as confidential; the judges still need to know who they are, but this will not be published anywhere.

Finalists
If you make it through to the next stage, as well as gathering publicity and recognition, you will want to think about taking a place or a table at the gala awards event. As you can see from the images, this is a quality event, with a prestigious compere - in previous years we have had Bill Turnbull, Garry Richardson, Dominic Holland, Gyles Brandreth among others. This is a good and entertaining event to mix and network at, some have found it useful to take a table and invite customers and potential customers.
