Entering business awards is a great way for Australian businesses to showcase their achievements, gain recognition for their hard work, and promote their business. However, it's important to be aware that the award submission process can be very time-consuming. This is because there's more to entering awards than simply writing a submission.

Since the announcement of the finalists in this year’s EADT Suffolk Business Awards, I’ve been reflecting on the unexpected insights and learnings of being on ‘that side’ of the award process. For those who don’t know, we’ve been lucky enough to be on the recipient end of a judging panel (and to have emerged victorious twice). The very practice of allowing that external assessment of yourself and your business is, as so many of you know only too well, somewhat intimidating – no matter how sure you are of your business and your experience. This time, however, and having historically won the Customer Service category in both Suffolk and Norfolk, I felt incredibly honoured to be asked to judge this particular category. Initially, I found myself thinking ‘this will be a breeze’, and that I had nothing to fear or consider. What I found, however, is that it was far more of an opportunity for self-reflection and benchmarking than I might have considered prior to taking part. How can you not be faced with an entry or a conversation from a vibrant goal-setting business, and not find yourself looking at how this compares to what you do, or how you reached this point in the journey? I’m someone who has always been of the view that a child can teach an adult as much as the adult can teach the child – and I suppose this exercise is similar. I learned from their desire, entrepreneurship and their unique approaches to managing customer interaction. My takeaways for anyone considering being a business award judge: -           Do your homework on the business and seek to raise questions which are truly beneficial for your learning of them and their understanding of you. -           Be self-reflective (not selfish) throughout the process, considering whether the activity leads itself to more learning and development you might require. -           Embrace the chance to extend your network and relationships in directions you may never have considered. -           Take time to reflect on the process with your own colleagues or peers, being sure to bring to mind particular areas which now seem evident for your own business improvement or for your chance to become active in the art of mentoring. Good luck to all of the finalists from myself and the MAD-HR Ltd team.

Choosing the right business awards to join can be a strategic decision for a company. Here are some steps to help you make the best choice: 1. *Identify Your Goals*: Determine what you hope to achieve by entering the awards.

Understanding your goals will help you narrow down the options. 2. *Research Available Awards*: Look for awards that are relevant to your industry, business size, and location. Some awards are more prestigious and can offer greater exposure, while others might be more niche but highly relevant to your specific field. 3. *Evaluate the Criteria*: Carefully review the eligibility criteria and judging process for each award. Ensure that your company meets the requirements and that the award aligns with your business values and achievements. 4. *Consider the Benefits*: Assess the potential benefits of winning or even being shortlisted for the award. This could include media coverage, networking opportunities, and enhanced credibility with clients and partners. 5. *Check Past Winners*: Look at the previous winners to see if they are similar to your business in terms of size, industry, and achievements. This can give you an idea of whether your company stands a good chance. 6. *Prepare Thoroughly*: Once you've chosen the awards to enter, make sure to prepare a strong application. Highlight your unique strengths, achievements, and how you stand out from the competition. https://lnkd.in/g88p34Bt If you've been searching for a legit recognition platform, check out https://seba.asia/
