To ensure your submission stands out and your judging process runs smoothly, please keep these three tips in mind:

For Interview Categories: Please clearly name the individual you are putting forward and include a short biography or background summary. This allows our judges to get to know them and their achievements before the interview begins.

For Event Categories: Don’t forget to include the specific date of your event in your application. Providing this early allows us to assign a judge who is available to attend and witness your work firsthand.

The Early Bird Advantage: While the final deadline is Friday, 3rd April 2026, we strongly encourage you to submit your entries as soon as possible. The earlier you enter, the sooner we can coordinate site visits and assign judges to your location
