The CIPP’s
NOMINATIONS OPEN 11 MARCH - VISIT CIPP.ORG.UK/AWARDS
The CIPP’s Annual Excellence Awards are the longest running, independent awards in the industry. They were established to recognise the important role that payroll and pensions play in the UK economy; especially when you consider the £250 billion* paid to the government through income tax and National Insurance contributions.
How to win an Annual Excellence Award To give yourself the best chance at winning an Annual Excellence Award, follow our tips below.
Allowplenty of time to complete your nomination It takes time to put a nomination together so make sure that you improve your chances by allowing plenty of time to do so and not leaving it until the last minute. Take the time to consider how clear and concise your entry is to stay within the word limit and give your entry the best chance of standing out to the judges. Entries must be submitted via the online platform by 31 July 2019.
Focus on the criteria and evidence Make sure you meet each of the criteria outline for the award. Ensure you provide evidence of how you have met the criteria to attain higher scores from the judges. The winning nomination is, quite simply, the nomination with the highest score at the end of the process. You can attach up to four supporting documents as PDF files. But be sure that they add to your nomination. Avoid adding unnecessary information that the judges will need to sift through to find your point.
Have a great summary statement You should write your summary statement last to be sure it covers everything contained in your nomination. It needs to be succinct. Remember, the Annual Excellence Awards get lots of nominations. Use your summary to stand out from the competition.
