The Corporate & Financial Awards champions excellence in City communications across every discipline, from websites and reports to the messages crafted for audiences both within and beyond the organisation.

How to enter

Before completing the online entry form, you will need to have a single PDF document prepared for each of your entries (maximum 10MB for each entry). In order to impress our judges and create an entry worthy of success, make sure to cover all of the four steps listed below.

Struggling to craft the content, layout, and design of your entry? Download the entry and information guide to help you decide what to include and how to shape your submission.

  1. Entry Summary

    Provide a short 300-word summary of the project that you are entering. The summary is used to brief the judges on your work, so make sure it is informative but concise!

    The summary should include:

    • Details of the category you are entering into*
    • A brief description of the organisation and what they do
    • A synopsis of the work
    • The project’s relevance to the category it is being entered into
    • Industry context – what is the company’s place within the market?
    • Budget (optional)

    * If you feel your work is a perfect candidate and strong contender for more than one category, the summary should be tailored accordingly.

    • Context
    • Challenge
    • Strategy/implementation
    • Innovation
    • Functionality and accessibility (if applicable)
    • ResultsEntry Statement

      Write a project summary statement of no more than 800-words. The most successful entries relate their results back to the original objectives.

      The judges will be scoring on the components listed below so it is important to ensure you cover these areas clearly and effectively within your entries.

  2. Supporting Materials

    Including supporting materials strengthens your entry by providing evidence of your achievements. Materials should illustrate your work and aid the narrative of your entry statement. It is best to include only those materials that are directly relevant to the specific category.

    • Images illustrating the project or campaign
    • Press coverage (up to five examples)
    • Social coverage (up to five examples)
    • Video (up to three minutes, please include a link in the entry rather than sending the video file)
    • Statistics: any relevant statistics (optional)
    • Client feedback
    • Testimonials

    Usually, if you are entering a category with a printed report, we recommend that you post a hard copy of the report to us by the entry deadline. However, we appreciate that for sustainability, less reports are being printed, so you are welcome to send a pdf version of your printed report so that we can distribute this to our judges. Judges do like to look through a printed report, so if you’d like to post a copy to us, please get in touch with Tom at [email protected].

  3. Web Links (If Applicable)

    You can supply up to three relevant URLs. Please provide passwords where access to links is restricted.

    Please note that the organisers cannot be held liable to changes in entrants’ site architecture or changes that may take place between submission and judging.
