Answering questions in your submission
As part of the assessment criteria, entrants must provide responses of a maximum of 400 words per question to four questions.
Begin by highlighting your major success, achievements, or milestones over the assessment period.
Following this, demonstrate any innovation that has shaped your team and its outcomes (not just limited to financial gains).
Third, outline the breadth of research your team undertakes, before detailing the market potential for your research.
How to enhance your entry
To strengthen your submissions, you are encouraged to provide a maximum of four supporting documents (unless directly requested) and refer to the material for the judges’ consideration.
These could include financial or business metrics, images, statistics, transcripts, media coverage, accolades, testimonials or recommendations/references and other relevant information.
If the documents are not directly referenced and relevant to your submission, they will be disregarded.
In addition to these supporting documents, we encourage you to submit an optional video of up to 30 seconds long, answering the question: “What does business success mean to you?”
