Whether you’re submitting an entry for a company, campaign or an individual award, such as Forty Under 40, your written entry materials could mean the difference between taking home the trophy or watching from the sidelines.
No matter how excellent your company’s overall work is, how successful the campaign was or how qualified you are, to capture the judges' attention, you must present your information in the best, most persuasive manner.
Keys to a quality entry
- Are you answering all the questions?
- Are you providing enough factual information?
- Are you giving enough examples?
And, most importantly,
- Are you writing in a persuasive manner?
Writing an awards entry is copywriting at its finest and requires a writer trained in persuasive writing techniques.
The trick is to take the factual information that proves your worth, coupled with the examples that demonstrate your excellence, and weave them into a story that the judges will want to read to the end.
Where I come in
Having insight into the awards and judging process is key and I have more than 20 years experience running awards programs. For 10 years, I ran a national business awards program that annually featured more than 15 categories. For an additional 12 years, I ran a national scholarship program and an individual awards program with regional winners. I've also served as an awards judge.
I’ve sat in hundreds of committee meetings and reviewed thousands of entries. I know what works, what doesn’t and what judges want.
As an independent expert, I approach your campaign with fresh eyes and can pick out the key aspects to include in your entry.
This, coupled with my 30 years experience as a writer and my training in persuasive writing techniques, makes me the ideal person to write your awards entry.
When you work with me, you get access to advice and writing that will make your entry stand out from the rest.
