Print IT Reseller - issue 128

Completely free to enter Entering the awards is simple and straightforward, simply visit www.printitawards.co.uk and register your details. It’s completely free to enter, so there’s no excuse not to throw your hat in the ring. And it’s absolutely fine to enter as many categories as you see fit to increase your chances of winning. The one caveat to that is that each entry must be original. But, as I repeatedly say year on year, you’ve got to be in it to win it! So, make sure you enter the 2025 PrintIT Awards and give our judges a chance to recognise you and your team! Good luck and we look forward to welcoming you to the PrintIT Awards Ceremony on December 2 at The Royal Lancaster, London. PRINTIT AWARDS 23 PRINTITRESELLER.UK continued... Consider which award categories best match up with your company or team’s focus and where you have the most chance of getting shortlisted for. Read the criteria carefully and make sure that you can demonstrate that you meet everything asked for. 4 Keep it relevant If you do decide to enter multiple award categories – please don’t include the same entry - every submission must be individual and tailored to the specific category. On the same note, you also can’t resubmit last year’s entry – each category clearly states that the product, solution or business success story must have occurred in the 12 months preceding the awards deadline. Also make sure to keep the content relevant – matching your submission to the specific criteria is paramount. Double check your entry sticks to the criteria and addresses each of the points mentioned and that you’ve included any additional supporting information required to back-up any claims. 5 Back-up your claims Whether it’s revenue, growth, customer satisfaction or increased market share – back-up any claims made with facts, figures and testimonials from credible sources. Please don’t just say you’re a market leader or you’ve got the highest customer retention rate in your sector – back it up with before and after data. The judges need to have the facts in front of them to be truly blown away by your achievements! Some categories require testimonials as part of the entry criteria, but even if it’s not mandatory, consider including a few words from customers, partners, or even your own employees. If they have something interesting and relevant to say, that can really add value to your entry. 6 Don’t forget to proofread your entry Remember, the judges will be comparing your submission alongside entries from your peers, so make sure it isn’t riddled with typos or missing any required information. It’s really important that you stick to the word count, pay attention to formatting, spelling, grammar and punctuation, and make sure it’s easy to read. Please also ensure that you submit your entries using the official form online, whilst you can upload supplemental information, the entry itself must be submitted in the correct format and not as a PDF attachment. Finally, don’t be afraid to show your personality – if you can showcase your passion for your business, it can go a long way in helping you to make a good impression on the judges. 7 Stick to the deadline We can’t stress this enough – make sure you get the entry in on time. The deadline is there for a reason, there’s a whole lot of work to be done after all the entries are in. To be fair to all the award entrants and to ensure our judges have enough time to review all the entries, we can’t give you an extension. The website will close promptly at 5pm on Friday July 18, and any entries made after that time will be excluded from the judging process.
