Lodging multiple awards
If you are lodging a submission for a number of award categories, congratulations! Please use
a common sense approach to creating submissions for multiple categories.
While producing an awards submission can be a time-consuming process, there are ways in
which you can reduce the work required. For example, you may be able to use the same core
submission for a number of different categories, tailored to the specifics of each category.
NOTE: You will still need to complete separate submission documents for each award.
If you have any questions regarding multiple submissions, please call Cheryl Samarasinghe
on 02 9922 3300 or email cheryl.samarasinghe@sterlingpublishing.com.au.
Supporting material
Please refer to any supporting material in your submission for judges to consider. This
material may differ depending on the category and can include images, statistics, media
coverage and other relevant information. Please do not provide supporting documents unless
they are directly referenced and relevant to your submission.
Remember to evidence any financial or business metrics or statements with supporting
documentation including audited statements, third-party independent data reports or
endorsements.
