There is no limit to the number of entries you can submit. You can put forward as many entries as you believe should be considered for the shortlist.

If a company has won the award before and gone into further development, can they enter again?

If you can show a new application or a new capability from the original tool you have built in the past 12 months, you can stand a chance of winning again. Does it allow you to do something the business previously couldn’t do? What is the impact? You should try to bring in the commerciality and the benefits it can generate for your organisation.

Will the information provided in the entry be shared publicly?

Post-event write-up and social media promotion of the winners will contain information from the award entry and attachments. If any part of your entry is confidential, please indicate this in your submission and we will ensure that those parts are not shared.

How do you judge the awards?

A set of entries is assigned to each judge to match their field of expertise. The judging process is carried out individually on a digital platform where scores from one to five are given to each entry considered. These scores are then aggregated for each entry and the entry with the highest score is selected as the winner of that award.

If there is a tie in scores, the chair of judges makes the final decision to select the winner. All categories are considered for the Grand prix, with the winner achieving the highest score overall taking the top prize.
