Start Your Own Awards Programme!

Discover how we can help you launch a new or improve an existing awards programme

Awards programmes are a brilliant way to raise your organisation’s profile within your industry and customer base and establish you as an industry expert.

Are you a company or association and have decided to create and run your own awards programme?

A great way to build and strengthen existing contacts within your industry, awards programmes can give you the opportunity to expand your reach and widen your network. Internally, awards can be the method to ensure the best work will be noticed. Awards excite, inspire and motivate – driving development, generating innovative industry ideas, and recognise creativity.  

At Awards Experts we have been heavily involved with the development and transformation of all aspects involved in an internal or external awards programme and are your perfect partner to help start your own or improve an existing awards show.

Our Services

Power Knowledge Hour

Are you launching a new award show but don’t know where to start?

Or do you have an existing show that is in need of a refresh?

Are you in need for ideas how to promote your shows and find new entrants?

Sometimes all it needs is a chat with someone that has been in your situation before. If you don’t want to commit to a full consultancy service, why not pick our brain on how to level up your awards programme? We take an hour together to go through your specific problem and questions. This may be looking at your categories, at your system, at your marketing or sales strategy. We will answer your questions, give you feedback and ideas. No further commitment, just award consultancy within your reach – whenever you need it. Below are just some of the aspects that we can help with:

– General awards idea and what you need to know before launching
– Category descriptions
– Written entry questions & formats
– Judging criteria & judging processes
– Jury selection
– Awards Marketing Ideas
– Timeline creation sense checks
– Entrant & Judging System selection & set up

Awards Programme Consultation

Once you have decided to work with Awards Experts to support your existing or future awards programme, we will analyse your company’s goals and industry opportunities to determine the layout and direction of your awards programme.

We will look at what stages your programme needs to meet your goals, helping you develop:

– Categories
– Entry Process and advice kits for entrants
– Judging methods, criteria and rules
– Jury Profiles
– Data management and systems
– Technology requirements
– Award Timelines
– Events Production (if applicable)

We work with you to optimise each entry stage, your overall timelines, programme communication strategy, data management and even recommend event producers or trophy suppliers as well as list ideas for how to award and recognise your winners.

If you already have a programme in place we can audit your existing processes. With our experience we can work with you on finding or highlighting current pain points and improving your system to enhance its results.

Awards Programme Implementation

If after our assessment you would like to implement your own awards programme, but cannot allocate sufficient resources to it, we can help you more hands-on. 

In this case we would take over the process, from researching your industry, implementing the structure, establishing the rules, setting the schedule, making recommendation for judges and providing you with a marketing and communications plan. In all these steps we will work in constant communication with you to ensure it completely fits your organisation’s needs. 

Once everything is in place, we train your team or assist you in recruiting the right individual for the job.

Event Management

Do you want to ensure that your big night of the winners announcement is a big success?  

Be it an in-person event or a virtual awards show, from securing suppliers and production to finding the perfect host – we can organise and manage the whole process for you. For this we partner with The Sleek Event Lab, bringing you over 13 years experience to ensure your event is in the best hands.
