What do I need to include in my entry?
Each entry must contain no more than 2,000 words, which should persuade the judges why you should win your chosen category and prove that you have had to overcome the odds.
More importantly, the judges will need documentary evidence - the facts and figures to back up your claim. These MUST include the two latest sets of financial figures (young companies should submit as many months as possible) and some projection of next year’s performance. Feel free to include some glowing testimonials from customers, examples of marketing materials and all other supporting evidence you have.
The Biz Awards regrets that entries are non-returnable, so please do not include any original documentation.
All short listed entries will be required to appear in publicity material and a short video to be used at the award ceremony, filming for this will take place between 2nd and 7th of June 2008. If you are unable to participate in this then your entry will become void.
Will entries be treated confidentially?
All entries and information submitted to the Biz Awards are treated in the strictest of confidence. Financial information is only seen by the judging panel.
What about hard copy entries?
Regrettably we are only accepting email entries.
