Judging
The judging will be based on the online entry form, your website (viewed on desktop, mobile and tablet) and any other online presence that you might have, including social media. The judges will also look at your online customer reviews and interactions with your customers.
Please remember that judges might not know your business personally and will be shortlisting based exclusively on the materials you provide in your application. It is important therefore, that your entry is clearly presented and easy to read, addresses the judging criteria, looks professional and conveys what it is that makes your business really special.
