Active Profile has helped secure a number of award wins for clients. Here, Anna gives some essential advice for award success…

Award entries take up valuable time and resources so research the previous winners and read the entry requirements carefully before deciding to apply.
Not all awards are credible so ask yourself if it is the right award to enter for your company profile.
Find out who the judges are and write with them in mind.
When filling out descriptive information about a project or business, always use statistics to illustrate company growth, a project’s impact or success.
Remember to highlight the challenges your business has come up against and how you have achieved success despite these.
Detail how your team has gone above and beyond to ensure the success of the business.
Imagine you or your business is being announced as the winner on stage – what is the powerful voiceover man or woman going to say as you walk up to collect your award? The entry should always be written with this in mind.
Send real supporting information, client testimonials, case studies and images if allowed.
Read the entry form carefully and make sure you focus on answering questions concisely.
Presentation is everything. Make sure your entry reflects the excellence you’ve delivered.
