I can’t enter my project because of confidentiality issues, or because I don’t want to give
away secrets behind my application.
We understand your predicament, but that should not stop you from receiving the recognition you deserve. We are flexible about the nature and specificity of the information we will ask of you; special arrangements can be made with the judging panel if particular confidentiality requirements are considered necessary for business purposes, and no proprietary details of the winning project will be published.
I don’t have time to sit down and write an essay explaining my project
Entering a project should not be a chore. We understand that you’re busy and don’t expect you to spend hours completing forms and writing essays to enter. What we want from you is to express your interest in nominating your project, so we can work together to minimise the amount of time and effort that you’ll put into the nomination, and still obtain the information that we need. You are more than likely to already have documents and images at your disposal to support your entry.
Please attach any material that might be relevant to the project.
