Can I get some help in writing my application? No one knows your business better than you. This means that it’s easy to rush in and talk about all the amazing work you have been doing, and forget that the judges have probably never heard of your business before. Take a step back, and start at the very beginning – with the basics – when and why did you set up the business, and what did you hope to achieve, don't be vague, perhaps share you customers views, by providing some testimonials, share your story and make sure you address all the criteria. If you still need help, our official awards entry sponsor is Pure Awards Creative. They have years of experience in awards and awards entry writing. To get in touch, call Lucinda on 07900 571189 to see how she can help you.

Of course! We look at each entry individually and scale will be taken into account during the judging process.
