Tips on entry
The judges will be looking for examples of outstanding campaigns, strategies, projects and performance, backed up by hard evidence of success and how the partnership has benefited both the company and the not-for-profit organization that they were working with.
Each submission must indicate clearly to the judges the nature and degree of difficulty of the challenge faced.
Strategies and campaigns will be judged on outcomes and achievements rather than the strength of the plan or campaigning materials.
Successful entries will be specific and economical with words.
Sensitive information
It is understood that in some cases entries may include commercially sensitive information. Third Sector reserves the right to publish descriptions and case studies of winning entries, but if an entrant asks for any part of their submission to remain confidential, it will be treated as such.

The email address will not be used for any other purpose.
