Congratulations, you have been nominated for an award. What now? Being nominated for an award is a sign that your company excels in general or in a specific domain. The nomination, the participation and hopefully the win provide extra visibility and media attention.
During the judging you are expected to introduce your company in a powerful and convincing way and defend your candidacy. The introduction is of great importance and must be a complement to the report that the jury -if all is well- has read. Take these 5 tips into account:
1) Criteria and expectations of the jury The jury will assess your dossier and presentation on the basis of a few criteria that are known beforehand. Take that into account as you build up the presentation. An award for a company requires a different approach than an award for an entrepreneur.
2) An award presentation is not a corporate presentation Do not simply use the standard company presentation when you appear before the jury. It is too general and lacks points of contact with the award's criteria.
3) Build up your story well and take account of timing The timing of the presentation is fixed beforehand and must be strictly respected. So take that into account in your build-up. Put a series of photos of achievements / references at the end of your presentation. You can easily go through these and you can stop whenever necessary.
4) Provide a professional presentation Your reputation is at stake and so you have to appear at your best before the jury. A professional organisation is prepared for everything. A good story, a strongly supportive presentation and delivered professionally. Show that winning the award is important to you and pay attention to every detail.
5) Present with passion You stand before the jury as owner, CEO or director of your company and thereby represent all employees. Be proud of what you do daily and what you and your company have achieved. Present authentically and with passion. Passion, pride and drive are always engaging to listen to, are very convincing and are contagious.
