TIPS FOR ENTRY

    

Please make sure that you enter the correct category. Some awards are designed specifically for asset managers, some for insurers, some for pension funds, and some for all profiles.

Each award has specific sections to be completed with assigned word counts. While entries can be shorter, the awards platform does not allow them to be longer so please choose your words wisely.

We suggest that you avoid dense copy that may fail to capture the attention of the judges. Also avoid using obscure acronyms or industry-specific jargon.

Grammatical errors and basic spelling mistakes can detract from the quality of your entry. To ensure that your entry is error-free, have a colleague review and proofread it. If they have trouble understanding a particular point, it's probable that the judges will encounter the same difficulty.

Please make a note of the submission deadlines. The judges can only assess the entries that have been submitted on time.
