- Please study the criteria the judges will be looking at in the category and ensure you address each one in your summary.

- This will only be looked at IF the Executive Summary persuades the judges it’s worth delving further! Please do not include links to further material in your supporting documents.
- Do not reprint general information that can easily be found on websites or in company literature.
- Allow yourself plenty of time to consider and develop your entry but don’t miss the relevant deadlines. Please check the deadline for each category.
- Provide solid evidence for any specific claims or statistics you make in your entry.
- Use spell check and ask someone outside of your business to proofread your entry – this will make sure that it makes sense.
- We may ask you to provide further details about your entry, if necessary. So please ensure correct contact details are provided.
- Bed Manufacturer and Supplier of the Year entrants: If you are shortlisted, you will be asked to put forward a spokesperson to discuss your entry with the judges. Please ensure someone is available on Wednesday 11th September 2024.
