Submissions can come from anyone within the organisation (eg. a line manager, colleague, director, CEO) or from an industry partner or client. We also welcome self-nominations.

 

Submissions can come from individuals and teams based in the UK or overseas.

 

Please remember the awards are about people – individuals or teams – so make sure it’s clear who is the nominee is. We cannot accept submissions for a product or initiative, nor for the whole company. In your entry, please make it clear which individual or team you are entering.

 

In all categories, submissions must demonstrate how the nominee has gone ‘above and beyond’, so please don’t just describe their day-to-day responsibilities. We are looking for stand-out achievements.

 

Rather than just listing the achievements of the individual or team, please try to convey the special qualities and skills that led to their success.

 

Nominations are welcome for individuals/teams in multiple categories. For example, an individual could be entered as both a Shining Star and Account Manager of the Year. However, please make sure each submission is tailored to the specific category and is not a ‘copy and paste’.

 

All entries must include supporting evidence, such as videos, client, partner or peer testimonials.

 

Supporting evidence must be collated into one PDF document, with links to videos, or videos can be submitted separately.

 

Please keep the evidence clear and concise. Our judges have to review multiple entries in each category so don’t have the time to read 50 pages.

 

If you’re struggling to scale back your supporting evidence, put the most impressive evidence first. You can also include links to further content if required.

 

Videos are an effective way of sharing testimonials to support a nomination and, in the case of self-nominations, they can help to demonstrate a person’s passion and enthusiasm for their role.

 

Remember, the judges might not know anything about the nominee except for what is included in the submission, so don’t make any assumptions. Use the supporting evidence to paint a full picture.

 

Submissions will not be accepted from companies in categories they are sponsoring.

 

Take a look at the judges verdicts in previous year’s to see why the winners were chosen.

 

 

There are 20 award categories representing a range of individual and team roles.  

Please ensure nominations are entered in the category with the description that is the most suitable and appropriate. Judges are aware that companies have many different job titles to illustrate core business responsibilities.
