Entry Guidance
The scope of these awards is global. Entries are welcome from all providers regardless of location. The judges will assess each entry purely on its merits.
Our panel of independent judges will each judge two awards. They will be looking for clear evidence of achievements based on the judging criteria we've set.
Exceptional entries demonstrate real-world impact, innovative solutions, and tangible benefits to guests, operators, or the wider industry. Innovative solutions to problems being faced in the industry will receive extra credit.
The judges will not be making field visits, so your chances of winning will depend entirely on the depth and quality of your entry.
What makes a strong entry
- Provide as much detail as possible to validate your claims, including statistics, customer comments and third-party endorsements.
- Cite specific case studies and instances of client success to present a successful solution.
- Attachments can increase your chances — upload supporting documentation, images and video footage alongside your written entry.
- Read the award criteria carefully. Failing to demonstrate any one criterion scores zero marks in that area.
Tips for Winning
- Clarity is everything. Make it easy for the judges to extract the relevant information.
- Be concise. Judges read many entries in a limited time — lengthy entries may not get the attention they deserve.
- Provide evidence. Show the hard facts that back up your claims. Be as forthcoming as possible to convince the judges your entry merits an award.
- Go above and beyond. The awards recognise excellence — not simply ticking boxes, but demonstrating with evidence that you have gone further.
- Be current. Don't dwell on the past — focus on recent achievements and measurable results including ROI, cost savings, revenue growth and efficiency improvements.
- Context matters. Describe the particular challenges you face — judges won't necessarily know the intricacies of your operation.
- Size is no barrier. Small companies have just as much chance to win. Judges consider the relative size of each company in their decision.
