Creating your winning Re:locate Awards 2011/12 entry: a checklist

Entering the Re:locate Awards is easy, but it’s important to take that extra little bit of trouble to ensure your submission stands out from the crowd.

Your awards entry checklist

For inspiration

• See How to create a winning submission and previous winners’ case studies on our website
• View replays of our 2011/12 series of awards webinars

The basics

• Follow the assessment criteria precisely
• Steer clear of marketing-speak
• Submit your entry in the specified format
• If you enter more than one category, make sure you tailor each entry to the category entered. For example, don’t use exactly the same wording for the Relocation Service Provider of the Year and Best Property Provider or Solution awards
• Ensure you're entering the most relevant category. Call us on +44 (0)1892 891334 or email awards@relocatemagazine.com  or fiona@relocatemagazine.com if you need advice on which category is best for you
