How to enter
You may enter as many categories as you like and you can enter a project in more than one category. If you are intending to do this you will need to enter each category one at a time, you can not click on multiple categories for the same project as each of the questions asked will be specific to that category. Please pay special attention to the following instructions. Failure to follow them will put your entry at a disadvantage. Entries must be made through the Enter page of this website.
Each entry must include:•
A statement answering the questions specific to the category you are entering.
The statement must open with a one-paragraph summary, in no more than 250 words, of the main reasons why the entry should win an award. The statement must then answer each of the questions specific to the award you are entering in no more than 250 words for each question.• It is recommended that you prepare your answers to the category questions in word prior to entering to avoid the entry system timing out.
