Tips for entering
If you are unsure how to complete your entry or nomination, here are some tips:
- Create a login via the category that you would like to enter or nominate for, this means you can go back and complete it later.
- 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.
