HOWTOWINANANNUAL EXCELLENCE AWARD

The Awards celebrate the commitment and excellence of both individuals and organisations in their role of ensuring that people are paid.
TIPS ANDGUIDANCE To give yourself the best chance at winning an Annual Excellence Award, here are a few tips to follow.
Allow plenty of time to complete your nomination
Focus on the criteria and evidence
Have a great summary statement
Make sure you meet each of the criteria outlined 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 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.
You should write your summary statement last to be sure it covers everything contained in 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 2020.
It needs to be succinct.
Remember, the Annual Excellence Awards get lots of nominations. Use your summary to stand out from the competition.
THE JUDGING PROCESS Judges are selected from various industry sectors based on their skills and knowledge within payroll and pensions. All judges are members of the CIPP, so you are truly being recognised by your peers. The judges only review the information in the nomination, they cannot and do not base any decision on personal opinion or prior knowledge of an individual or organisation.
