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 Outdated supporting information will not be accepted.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.
