Judging
Major Partner
• Written Entry. Be clear, concise and answer the questions.
• Stick to word limit. Simple yet hard to do so edit wisely.
• Criteria Ensure you demonstrate each of the specific criteria in
your responses as this is what the judges have to score against.
• Reference material. These can consist of anything from product
brochures, referee statements, a video about your product or any
other material that supports your nomination.
• Photos. Include photos that illustrate your solution in action not just
screen grabs or use case scenario diagrams.
• Highlight your innovation as this is after all what the iAwards is
looking to showcase so don’t bury it in a marketing spiel.
