We will be updating the Awards Joining Instruction and upload the same closer to the event.

In this particular category, we are focusing on the achievements of the project professional, so it doesn’t have to be just one project, if they decide to answer various elements of the application basing it on one particular project, then that is also fine.

We respect the anonymity required and the lack of overall information available to be shared around some of the benefits of a specific project. You can just share what can be shared, whilst ensuring to mention that other data is security bound from public domain – the judges will therefore be guided accordingly.

Please ensure to check our timeline page for details on our key dates and deadlines. Should you have missed the deadline, unfortunately we will be unable to accept entries outside of the specific dates, but would encourage you to send us your submission for the following yerar instead.​

Thank you for checking - we appreciate your efforts regarding submitting an entry for the Awards. ​
In order to keep the same level playing field for all applications, unfortunately we are not in a position to extend the deadline for individual cases. By all means, you can still prepare and ensure to submit for consideration for the following year.​

Providing that the project is at the end of a major phase and there is evidence of outcome/benefits, you should be ok to submit your entry. Please ensure to also check our rules of entry and category criteria for further details

Yes, that will be possible as in the individual categories, you only need to mention the contributions made by the individual in the project/programme. The criteria focuses on the achievements of the project professional, so it doesn’t have to be about just one project but the person's career in general.

We can confirm that any documents you attach will only be shared with the judging panel and will not be shared/published anywhere else. These documents will only be used only as support for the judging process

The supporting documents can be a combination of images, data and text (but you must ensure to avoid any external links). Judges will only read what is included in the 2 supporting documents and not any hyperlinks included within it.

I am afraid there is no extension available. In order to keep the same level playing field for all applications, unfortunately we are not in a position to extend the deadline for individual cases. By all means, you can still prepare and ensure to submit for consideration for the following year. ​

You may submit as many entries in the different categories as you wish. However, the same project or programme and its material may not be submitted as the basis for entry into more than one award category. Please ensure to peruse our Rules of Entry prior to submission

You can check our judging process details on this page of our website

Yes, you will be able to submit the details of each of the organisations involved in the project when filling in the application form. However, please ensure to have the clearances required before submitting. Check our Rules of Entry

We tend to launch for entries at least 3 months prior to the deadline date in order to give our participants enough time for client clearance etc. You can submit the entry before the deadline and then withdraw if necessary. All we ask is that you advise us as soon as you become aware that you are no longer able to proceed with the application should the clearance not be granted.

Please check that the confirmation has not gone into your spam folder. Alternatively we can check at our end and let you know if it is showing on our system as submitted.

Should you run out of space in within the application, you can use the two supporting documents as an opportunity to cover the details of your deployment that you couldn’t cover.

No, it is not compulsory. In the footer of the application, we advise that 2 supporting pages can be attached should the applicant wish to do so.  Here you can use the supporting document as an opportunity to cover the details that you couldn’t cover in the submission, or as an opportunity to show client testimonials etc.

You can include hyperlinks within your application, however this is not encouraged. Bear in mind that the judges are having to read through multiple entries and, all of which we are trying to keep to the same amount of information. So, that everyone is on the same level playing field, judges will only read the data within each application form (sending them repeatedly to external web pages will lead them to an unmeasurable amount of details that they will unlikely read).

You will be able to view the specific questions for each of the categories in our Categories & Criteria page. These same questions will be part of the application from you will be asked to fill in when submiting an entry

The Awards Black Tie and Gala Dinner will be hosted on Tuesday 7th November 2023 at Wembley Stadium.
