Why bother?

• Internal and external

recognition: it shows your

• rganisation what you can

achieve and helps it to understand how good you are when it has little to compare you with.

• It’s an opportunity to

benchmark your activity: you don’t have to win to see if you’re doing well – being on the shortlist is also an accolade.

• The value of being

recognised by peers.

• It can improve teamwork

and morale and provides a strong incentive to seek stakeholder feedback.

• It can open doors both

for your team and for you as an individual.

• Publicity.

• Submit unsupported claims.
• Provide a poor explanation
• f your claims.
• Submit a sloppy and

badly-written entry.

• Enter too early.
• Fail to follow the guidelines.

Second round: how to stand out

profile internally or externally?

the benefits are sustainable?

• Was your project particularly

creative or innovative?

• Was it a first for your sector
• r industry?
• Is your project well-executed

and presented clearly and concisely, with claims supported by evidence?
