NOMINATIONS OPENING 9MARCH 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, and the £301bn* expected to be contributed through National Insurance and income tax in 2020-21.

HOW TOWIN AN ANNUAL EXCELLENCE AWARD

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.

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 files but be sure that they add value 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.

Entries must be submitted via the online platform by 31 July 2020.
