Entering an IT award takes time, effort and isn't very cheap, so why bother? It's not all just about good PR and getting publicity for your company's brand or product. Winning an award that's relevant to your business offers credibility and can help remind your clients why they chose you in the first place.
Excessive jargon, an over-ambitious idea, and poorly prepared and presented application forms are the most common mistakes when applying for awards, so it is crucial to find the award that is the 'best fit' for your business and take your time when filling in the application.
If I had to give only one piece of advice to people entering awards, it would be as simple as this: answer the questions in the award entry - not what you think the questions say, not what you want the questions to ask or anything else - just answer the specific questions asked.
