Before entering

Please consider whether this is the right year to put forward your initiative/project for an award. Your entry may be a project that demonstrates outstanding innovation and best practice, or a managed improvement in your organisation that may help other charities overcome similar problems. In either case, the judges always look for evidence of results, and if yours is a relatively new scheme, it may be better to wait until the outcomes of the project are clearer.  We’ve compiled some guidance notes to accompany the entry form, you can download that here. Please also review our conflict policy.

Even filling in the application is such a brilliant exercise. The stuff I wrote about how we display these Hallmarks of Excellence is now proving indispensable for Charity of the Year applications, web copy and annual reports.
