How To Get Your Entry Noticed!
An award-winning entry takes time and planning. Here are our Top 10 Tips for getting your entry to stand out from the rest...
- Choose your category
Visit our categories page, read the descriptions and download the relevant Preparation of Submissions – Guidelines for Entrants document and entry form - Speak to your colleagues and customers to get their input on your chosen case study. Make sure to ask for their permission to reference them in your entry.
- Give yourself time
Try to draft your entry in good time, ensure that you have plenty of opportunities to review and make changes. - Ensure your entry follows the guidelines:
a. Categories: introduction 300 words; detail of project or service 600 words; conclusion 100 words.
b. Young Freight Forwarder: YFF article 750 words; Manager’s reference 250 words.
c. Apprentice Of The Year: Manager’s nomination 750 words; Apprentice’s impressions & ambitions 500 words. - Use the wordcount to your advantage!
Don't skimp on detail - Outline the issue, explain your approach and solution, describe the outcome and results - Don't rush to submit
Once you have created your initial draft, review it a couple of days later. Refine your wording and make sure that the sentences make sense. - Enlist the help of your colleagues.
A fresh pair of eyes can make a world of difference. Ask a number of different people to read it to make sure that someone unfamiliar with the project can understand the case study. Use their feedback to make final tweaks. - Submit before Thursday 6th October 2022
We don't recommend that entries are left until the last minute, but once you are 100% happy with your case study, don't forget to submit it before the deadline which is 11AM - THURSDAY 6TH OCTOBER. Good Luck!
