- All entries must complete the entry template provided.

Top tips on entering:
- If relevant, include the budget you had for the project – this allows judges to fairly assess context and compare and contrast entries
- Be clear on the context in which your design team or nominee is working – what are the unique challenges of your sector and organisation? Remember the judges may not be aware of the ins and outs of working in your specific industry, so help them out by making this clear
- Have a clear narrative which tells a compelling story and demonstrates a defined goal
- Remember that with market specific product innovations, you must be able to show the impact of the design/product on that market
Good Luck!
