Hello Jeanette

If you still haven't started your nomination for the International & European Association Awards, now is the time to do so! Here are three tips to write your entry faster, while making sure you include the information the judges are looking for:

1. Writing your entry can take less time than you think - The digital forms only include a few chunkier sections, where guiding questions ensure you add the relevant information. You can use bullet points to organise your answers, thus writing faster without compromising on quality and therefore submitting a nomination which is to the point and is easy to read and evaluate. 
2. Back your nomination up - Include statistics (sometimes screenshots from software like google analytics or social media platforms is enough) and testimonials as supporting documents, and remeber to reference them in the copy.
3. Add your killer point at the beginning and reinforce it at the end - This insures that you grab the reader's attention right from the start. Then, because most people remember the most recent information presented to them, reinforce your point at the end, to ensure your most outstanding achievements stay with them. 

Just to remind you, there are 20+ categories you can nominate yourself, a colleague, a team, a project or your association in, within the following eight areas:

• People & Teams
• Organisation
• Leadership projects
• Conferences & Events
• Marketing & Communications
• Membership & Communities
• Education & Professional Development
• Publishing & Information

Get the brochure to view all the details, such as information about each of the categories, key dates for the awards and how to submit your nomination(s). There is a low administration fee off GBP95 / EUR95 for submitted nominations only.

Please forward this to a colleague if you feel they may be interested in nominating.

I am available for any questions and to provide you with support every step of the way. You can email me at anca@associationexecutives.org.

With best regards,

Anca
