It’s hard to believe it’s been nearly a year since we were thinking about the last Awards for Excellence! Now, it’s time to prepare for the 2025 Awards, with entries opening in early February and closing on 2 May 2025.

As you take a well-deserved break over the holidays, it’s the perfect opportunity to reflect on the incredible projects you and your team have completed this past year. Could one of those projects be your next award-winning entry?

Here are some valuable tips from past winners to help you prepare your entries:

Involve Your Team:
Engage your staff in the process. Have them review the project categories and brainstorm potential entries. You might even encourage them to write up the initial drafts for the entries—it’s a great way to celebrate their contributions!

Take Before & After Photos:
High-quality photos make a big difference. Be sure to capture clear “before” and “after” shots of your best projects, and avoid including anything in the images that could identify your business.

Maximize Your Chances:
Remember, you can enter up to three projects per category. Don’t hold back—the more entries you submit, the better your chances of standing out and taking home an award.

Be Clear and Concise:
A well-written entry is key. Keep your descriptions clear, to the point, and relevant to the category criteria.

The Awards for Excellence are not just about recognition—they’re an opportunity to showcase your skills, inspire your team, and celebrate the innovative work being done across our industry.
