Don’t rush
Entries that have been thrown together at the last minute stand out for all the wrong reasons. No matter how impressive a concept, team or individual is, their excellence will not shine through unless the information is presented in a clear manner so that the judges do not have to work to decipher your points. The final decisions of our judges will be based primarily on the factual information offered, but the approach that you take to the nomination process should mirror the thorough, methodical strategy that you take during your day-to-day business activities. In planning and compiling your submissions, include every piece of pertinent information — you wouldn't want to lose out to a competitor because you neglected to mention something that they remembered.
Think like a judge
Don’t be daunted by the judging process. Yes, our panel of judges are industry experts, but so are you. With this in mind, take a moment to think about the types of detail that would impress you if you were presiding over the entries. What is it about your company, concept, team or individual that makes it stand out from the competition? Don’t forget that although our judges will examine each nomination in detail, you are likely to be up against dozens of other entries, so make sure that your submission contains an element that will prevent it from blending in with the rest. Tell a story with a beginning, middle and end to ensure that the judges remember your entry long after they put down their papers for the day.
Don’t Miss out on a technicality
After putting in all this effort, you do not want to risk missing out on a technicality. The Caterer Middle East Awards nomination process is straightforward but it is one that must be followed rigidly in order to qualify. Make sure you stick to our word counts to ensure fairness among the vast number of entries. Over-long entries will be penalised or disqualified. Please remember to only submit entries via Survey Monkey and read the entry guidelines beforehand at www.hoteliermiddleeast.com/catererawards. If you follow these instructions and our five simple steps, you can rest assured that you have given yourself the best possible chance of winning a coveted Caterer Middle East Award.
