Award submissions
Win the recognition you deserve – professional award submissions that tell your story and impress the judges.
You’ve achieved incredible results, but writing about them in a way that stands out can be daunting.
Award submissions take time, strategy, and the right words to make your business shine.

Feel overwhelmed by tight award deadlines.

An award submission writer helps turn your business achievements, results and stories into a clear, compelling entry that responds directly to the award criteria. I can help identify your strongest evidence, structure your responses, write and refine the submission, and make sure your entry clearly demonstrates why your business, organisation or team deserves recognition.
-
Award submission writing costs vary depending on the award, number of questions, word limits and how much background information is available. My award submissions generally start from $1,300, with a tailored quote provided once I’ve reviewed the award criteria and requirements.
-
Ideally, allow at least four weeks before the award deadline. However, for larger awards with extensive criteria, questions and word counts, least 3 to 4 months lead time can be required. This gives us enough time to gather information, identify strong examples and results, draft the submission and allow for your feedback. If you have a tighter deadline, feel free to get in touch – I may still be able to help depending on availability.
-
Usually, I’ll need the award criteria plus information about your business, project or achievement, including relevant results, statistics, customer feedback, initiatives and examples. I’ll guide you through what I need and can also provide questions or conduct an interview to make the process easier.
