Top tips for entering
Stick to the word count
Sticking to the rough word count allows the judges to see your entry in a concise and easy manner.
More is not always better, and being too vague is equally as bad. Scroll through our entry guide to see our suggested word counts for each category.
Keep file size under 100MB
A large entry file takes a long time to load and can crash your judge’s PC!
Judging day means there is a lot already running on their laptops, so ensure each file you upload sticks to the 100MB rule!
‘How many pages!?’
A true quote from our judges!
Our judges review hundreds of entries. You may have stuck to the word count, but if the length of your entry exceeds 60 pages, it’s likely your full entry might not be read.
They have 99 other one hundred pagers to read!
Supporting evidence
Ensure you are providing supporting evidence.
That can be through images of cases or your practice, testimonials or videos you think will show off you and your practice the most.
