Tips for entering

If you are unsure how to complete your entry or nomination, here are some tips:

• By downloading and saving your entry form, you are able to work on providing the correct information in your entry in your own time.
• Start early so you have time to review and add information before submitting.
• Write to the Award Criteria. Read the question carefully to ensure you understand what the question is asking and focus on the required information. Don’t be tempted to add information that is not relevant.
• Be succinct in your answers but ensure you provide all information you can. Bullet points are encouraged!
• Ask another person to review your entry against the entry criteria, as they will often add a different perspective.

Award judging

• All judging is carried out by assessment of the information provided in the entry/nomination form. There is no on-farm or in-person judging, so it important to write to the award criteria and include as much detail as possible in the entry/nomination form. If applicable, we also encourage you to submit supporting data.
• Please ensure to notify your nominee that you have put them forward for an award.  A follow up call will be made with all nominated entrants to validate and get further information if required, so please ensure that your nominee is aware of this. 
• Independent Judges Panel review and pre score all entries against weighted judging criteria.
• Judges panel meet to shortlist finalists for all categories.
• A further follow up call to nominee/s may be conducted if required.
