To help, here are 10 practical tips to guide you in shaping a clear and compelling entry:[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_toggle title=” 1. Stick to the word limit” admin_label=” 1. Stick to the word limit” _builder_version=”4.27.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]Judges go through many entries, which takes hours of focus. Keep yours concise so your key points shine through. Kindly note that marks can be deducted should you exceed the word limit.[\/et_pb_toggle][et_pb_toggle title=”2. Use images and graphs to support your entry ” admin_label=”2. Use images and graphs to support your entry ” _builder_version=”4.27.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]Images, charts, and graphs can communicate your message quickly and effectively, while helping you cut down on long explanations.[\/et_pb_toggle][et_pb_toggle title=”3. Don\u2019t assume the judges know your campaign” admin_label=”3. Don\u2019t assume the judges know your campaign” _builder_version=”4.27.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]Provide context. Judges can only assess what\u2019s in your entry, so spell out the essentials and give them the clarity they need.[\/et_pb_toggle][et_pb_toggle title=”4. Stick to the specific eligibility dates \/ locations” admin_label=”4. Stick to the specific eligibility dates \/ locations” _builder_version=”4.27.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]Be specific. Results outside the eligibility period or location can\u2019t be scored, so break down exactly what happened within the given timeframe.[\/et_pb_toggle][et_pb_toggle title=”5. Report specific results” admin_label=”5. Report specific results” _builder_version=”4.27.0″ _module_preset=”default” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” sticky_enabled=”0″]<\/p>\n
Precision matters. Percentages are useful, but real numbers and achievements against targets help judges understand your campaign\u2019s impact. Confidential data will stay within the judging panel.<\/p>\n
All judges are bound by non-disclosure agreements and you can highlight any work that is to remain strictly confidential and for judging purposes only. Anything highlighted in red<\/span> will not be disseminated beyond the judging panel in any way.<\/em><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_toggle][et_pb_toggle title=”6. Cover all criteria” admin_label=”6. Cover all criteria” _builder_version=”4.27.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]Each entry is scored against set criteria. Address every point to make sure you\u2019re not leaving marks on the table.[\/et_pb_toggle][et_pb_toggle title=”7. Tailor your submission to the specific category” admin_label=”7. Tailor your submission to the specific category” _builder_version=”4.27.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]If you\u2019re entering the same campaign into multiple categories, adapt your submission to highlight what matters most in each one. A single version doesn\u2019t always fit all.[\/et_pb_toggle][et_pb_toggle title=”8. Use the templates provided” admin_label=”8. Use the templates provided” _builder_version=”4.27.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]Our templates are designed to save you time and keep judges focused on what counts \u2014 your work and results. A simple, well-structured entry beats an overdesigned deck.[\/et_pb_toggle][et_pb_toggle title=” 9. Double check your entry” admin_label=” 9. Double check your entry” _builder_version=”4.27.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]Check your entry thoroughly. Missing sections or broken links could prevent judges from seeing your full story.[\/et_pb_toggle][et_pb_toggle title=”10. Plan your schedule and enter on time!” admin_label=”10. Plan your schedule and enter on time!” _builder_version=”4.27.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]Late entries can\u2019t be accepted, so give yourself enough time to prepare. Starting early means fewer mistakes and a smoother submission process.[\/et_pb_toggle][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Top Tips for a Successful EntryWe know it takes time (and plenty of coffee!) to craft a submission that stands out and impresses an independent judging panel.
