Tips for a successful awards entry
- Please read the FAQs and Awards
Terms and Conditions
- Please complete the form fully. The judges only have the contents of the form
on which to
base their decision. Even if your project has already won awards they make
their
decisions on the
form alone
- Provide evidence to support your claims – measurable outcomes give judges good
information on which to assess your entry. If it is too soon to evaluate, show
how you have arrived at
your projection
- Make your supporting evidence count. Supporting evidence can add to an entry
but
too much of the same thing eg lots of photos of the same event can detract.
Avoid very large files (eg
catalogues or press cuttings that are over 5 pages)
- Make sure you list the titles of your supporting documents at the end of the
form, and
that the files you upload match these titles.
- Stick to word counts where indicated, do not exceed the maximum amount of
words.
- Don't be put off by other entrants. Small businesses can be deterred from
competing
against the big companies, however when small firms enter, they have a really
great track record of
success
- Make your form tell a clear story. You don't need to employ a professional bid
writer or
marketer to do the job but make sure the author has a good knowledge of the
project or
individual
- When completing online, make sure you click the submit button when you have
finished the form. You should receive a confirmation email with a list of
uploaded files, double check
that you have submitted everything.
- And don't forget to check back on the FDF website regularly for awards updates.
