Providing Video Footage
We would recommend providing a two-minute promo video with your entry, as this will help in the judging process. We may use some of the footage during the awards ceremony too, so this will give you a great opportunity to showcase your organisation.
However, we recognise that it may not be possible for everyone to create a video in time for the entry deadline on August 5th. So, for the following categories, it is not mandatory to supply a video: Outstanding Leadership; Educational Institution; Engines, Middleware, Tools & Technology; Legal Services Supplier; QA and/or Localisation Provider; Recruitment Agency; Tax & Accountancy Firm; Technical Innovation; Services Provider; Education Initiative/Talent Development; Commitment to CSR.
When supplying video, please note that we need a MOV/MP4 file of no more than 500MB.
The Written Entry
200 words isn’t a lot when you’re explaining why your game, your service or your organisation deserves to win the award, so be precise. Remember to check spelling and grammar in your submission.
Don’t Miss The Deadline!
The entry period closes at midnight on Friday August 12th, so make sure you don’t miss it.
What’s Next?
Our panel of industry judges will decide on the shortlist, with the Finalists in each category being announced in September. The judges will also choose the winners who will be revealed during our prestigious awards ceremony on the evening of November 10th.
