Helpful Hints 

REFERENCE LETTERS: Have a reference letter from the client or governing body (the person who contracted you or your company), stating that you, in fact, were responsible for doing the work.  

OBJECTIVE STATEMENT: Explain the event or event element objectives and how they were met. You may use point form. Also include an explanation of why you feel the event was outstanding and how it fits into the category. 300 Max.  

DESCRIPTION: Tailor your description to the category you are entering. For example, do not enter the same description for Best Decor as for Best Wedding. Flowery wording and romancing of details does not help in the judging process.  Describe the process involved in the design, planning and execution of the event and why these elements were challenging. Max 1000 words. (points deducted for overage)  

PHOTOS - CRITICAL:  PLEASE choose one which reflects the category you entered; ie. If its best wedding don’t send in a food shot!  

VIDEO FOOTAGE - NEW RULE: EDIT IT TO 3 MINUTES Submitted video of your event should be in DVD format. If producing a DVD, please ensure that it works in both a DVD player and on a computer. Please clearly label the DVD and DVD case with your company or individual name and event name. You must include a separate copy of the DVD with each applicable entry.  

100 WORD SUMMARY: A 100 word summary of the event must be included on the back page of your entry. You must also include your 100 word summary on a CD or as a Word document for PC or as a text file for PC. If the description is missing the entry will be disqualified.  

JOINT ENTRIES OR MULTIPLE CATEGORIES: A company or individual may enter the same event in more than one category, but you must submit an entirely new package and include all elements in each entry. Judges will not take photos or descriptions from one entry and apply them to another entry. Each entry MUST be complete and tailored to the category. It will work against you if you duplicate and entry and just change the title.
