Awards early entry program

The early entry program is closed for 2026

How the early entry program works

1. Tell us a little about what you’ve done

Fill in the brief form below to give us an idea of what you’ve been working on, and what you think stands out. (Don’t worry, you’ll be able to reuse this information in your main submission.) At this stage, don’t include any sensitive information on the form.

2. We’ll arrange a casual chat

Our Awards manager, Steve Bynghall, will reach out to arrange a friendly 30 minute chat about your entry. He’ll provide practical advice on how to best put your work forward, and what to focus on to have the greatest chance of winning.

3. If you want, you can start writing your submission early

You’ll be able to start preparing your submission as early as you like, so you can take advantage of any quiet periods and avoid the last-minute rush. (You can also wait until the Awards officially open for entries, and submit just like everyone else if a spare moment doesn’t come up beforehand.) Note that as part of entering the early access program, we can offer constructive feedback on one draft or work-in-progress version of your entry.

4. We’ll be just a call away!

You’ll be most welcome to reach out to us again for a further chat as you prepare your submission, as our goal is to give everyone the best chance of winning. We’ll also keep you in the loop on key dates, such as the official opening and closing of submissions. We’re here to help!
