The judges are looking for the business that has made the most effort to ensure the integration of its
activities with its local community. Your entry should focus on the extent to which you are involving your
community in your business activities and the extent to which your community benefits socially from your
business activities. Your entry should include details on:
- ways in which you have involved the community in the activities that you undertake as a
business;
- the efforts that you have taken to ensure that the rights, traditions and cultural heritage of
your community have been protected or enhanced by the business;
- the extent to which your business maintains and develops links with the community;
- how the business recognises and supports the development of community structures and
facilities;
- what you have done to address local issues such as HIV/Aids, TB, alcoholism and other
social issues as a business;
- how your business has contributed to the overall development and wellbeing of your
community.
In all categories, it is important to remember to consider the following points.
- All entries should reflect the activities of your business and your achievements over the
period July 2010 to June 2011. Where your entry is based on activities before this period,
you will need to demonstrate that the achievements in that period have been sustained
by providing relevant supporting documentation or data.
- Your entry should be factual and supported wherever necessary by documented proof of
any claims that may be made in categories where the award is based on performance.
- Include whatever information you believe will aid in demonstrating your achievements, but
beware of overstating the case.
- The data or information must be relevant to the period for which the entry has been
submitted. Outdated supporting information will not be accepted.
- Keep your entry concise and to the point. Limit your submission to 1500 words per
category and highlight information on your performance or achievements as this makes your
entry stand out for the judges and creates a better chance than those that have hidden this
information in unnecessary commentary.
- Ensure that all necessary supporting information is included in your entry submission, and
- Remember that the judges are looking for results and not window-dressing or PR campaigns.
