Entry Checklist

Is your entry...

• Clear, concise and clearly laid out?
• Legible? If judges can’t read it, it may be disqualified
• Written specifically for the category being entered? If not it will be disqualified.

Does your entry...

• Follow the entry and judging criteria?
• Include an executive summary of no more than 200 words suitable for publication?
• Include all benchmark data necessary for the judges to evaluate success?
• Provide evidence of how effective the work has been?
• Include at least one comment from stakeholders supporting the value and effectiveness of the work?
• Show the sort of evaluation methods you employed?
• Keep a careful balance between content, data, presentation and text?

Have you...

• Focused your efforts? Invest time and effort in writing your entry submission – it must stand out from the rest and will pass or fail in the first round of judging on the entry submission alone
• Provided all items you refer to in your entry as supplementary materials? If your entry makes the first-round cut, judges will want to see the items in full on the judging day
• Included relevant website details (including passwords required to access the site)
