outlined for the award. Describe to the judges how you have met the criteria, to allow them to score you highly. Keep your entry clear, concise and focused to stay within the word limit and to give your nomination the best chance of standing out to the judges. The winning nomination is, quite simply, the nomination with the highest score at the end of the process. Provide relevant evidence It’s easy to say that you do something, but the judges will be looking for evidence that you really do what you say. This is where most nominations lose marks. Everyone says they meet the criteria, but they do not back it up or they swamp the judges with irrelevant material. You can attach up to three supporting
documents in PDF files. Be sure that they add value to your nomination and avoid including unnecessary information for the judges to sift through to find your point. Stand out from the competition with a great summary statement Your summary statement should be concise and to the point. It should say “I should win because of x, y and z” and then direct the judge to where the information is contained within the nomination. Your summary statement should be the last part that you complete to make sure it summarises everything in your nomination. Remember, the Annual Excellence Awards get lots of nominations. Use your summary to stand out from the competition.
