Hello Jeanette

We're keen to recognise your achievements in the last 18 months, either as individuals or as teams, or for your projects or association as a whole.

To help you focus on what the judges are looking for, see these five comments judges have made at previous awards: 

1. Conveying a powerful message is more important than a high budget
"Succinct and impactful video. This is not a high definition cinema experience, but it was more effective. Inspirational"

2. Include supporting documents, you've already created them
"The screen shots were very useful in understanding what has been achieved.“

3. Connect your project's objectives and achievements
"A demonstration of a clever, measurable campaign with clear numeric objectives of changing people’s views (...) they could measure the change of impact."

4. Highlight your association's impact for members and the sector
“This association 'stepped up' to support its members during this difficult time by providing practical support, and involving its membership in research and campaigns and finding innovative ways to ensure the sector had a chance of survival."

5. Demonstrate and include reflections about how a team worked together
"The team demonstrated flexibility and innovation in their approach and the successful use of cross-team working was a particular highlight."
