The judging panel comprises independent representatives.
Do not undersell your business. Refer to any examples of excellence or outstanding achievement in your submission.
Answer all parts of the question. Go back and review your answer. Ask a work colleague or friend to review your submission.
Substantiate your claims. Where possible provide factual, tangible information rather than vague statements (e.g. increased sales by 10%, reduced customer complaints by half, etc.).
Most importantly: proofread. Have a fresh set of eyes read through your submission, and read it out loud to check the flow and structure.
Be accurate and factual.
