Supporting Information
Your entry must be accompanied by a high-resolution copy of your corporate logo together with one or two high-resolution images that can be used to support your entry in the event you are shortlisted. Logos and pictures should be in JPEG or PNG format.
Please bear in mind that judges will have only limited time to consider supporting material so quality of supporting material rather than quantity is of importance. ‘Less is often more’. A summarized one-page PowerPoint might be easier to digest than pages of documentation.
Where your entry can be usefully supported with supporting material, you may provide a maximum of three items per entry. Supporting material should be chosen with care. It should be relevant and enhancing to the main entry. You may include high-quality photographs, or a short video of the organization’s/individual’s works and achievements if you feel that these support your entry.
