No. All submissions must be received via post or courier service. Can I request feedback on my application if not successful in the awards?
You can request feedback on your nomination, however the organisers ask that you request this feedback within two weeks of notification that you have been unsuccessful. Can I nominate an individual or organisation?
Yes. However the individual or organisation you are nominating must be aware of this and must sign the declaration in Section 3 of the nomination form. Can I enter in more than one category?
Yes, but a separate entry needs to be received for each category you wish to enter. Please ensure you are eligible to enter the category you wish to nominate in.
What is the judging process?
Judging is coordinated by Corporate Communication and Marketing within the Department of Education, Training and the Arts.
The judging panels consist of at least three members sourced from business, industry and the public sector.
Individual and employer categories
Panels will select finalists and winners for each region and the state level based on written submissions and phone interviews. Regional winners will be announced at the six regional final presentation ceremonies in July–August 2009.
Regional winners in the five individual award categories are automatically selected as state finalists and go on to compete for the state award.
Regional winners in the two employer award categories are further short-listed with three organisations selected as state finalists to go on to compete for the state award.
State level only organisation categories
Panels will select three state finalists and winners based on written submissions. All state finalists are announced in August 2009 and winners will be announced at the state final award presentation ceremony in September 2009.
