It’s that time of year – time for the annual MyBusiness Awards for 2011. Regular readers of my blog will recall that I was featured in the April edition of MyBusiness, discussing the importance of Advisory Boards.
In my experience, businesses that nominate themselves for these kinds of awards are growth companies with a focus on innovation, and success in these kinds of competitions is a brilliant way to generate cost-effective PR, as well as third-party endorsements that are incredibly valuable.
This year’s awards will have a new and detailed judging process, new judging criteria including novelty, creativity, innovation and outcomes, with bonus points for
businesses that go the extra mile with their entries, such as including social media or audio-visual elements into their competition entries.
Entries close on 19 August 2011, so hop to it! And for tips on how to help your company go viral (this advice may be handy for preparing your award entry, by the way), stay tuned for the August edition of Queentessentials, due out next Tuesday.
