Description

Welcome to the Built Environment Marketing Show hosted by me, marketer Ayo Abbas from Abbas Marketing. In this episode, I share some of my experiences of being involved in industry awards from three perspectives, as a judge, as an organiser and as an entrant.

This year alone, I've judged three major awards programmes The RIBA Awards West London region, The Brunel University Entrepreneurship Awards, and the global Architizer A+ Awards. On top of this last year I assessed over 100 award entries, so I feel I've got lots to say on this and how to create submissions that make shortlists and even go onto win.

I share:

  • How to approach awards strategically
  • Ways to research and select the right awards
  • Tips on what makes award entries compelling
  • The importance of using accessible language
  • How to structure winning narratives and tell compelling stories
  • Ways to prepare for judging visits
  • What judges actually look for
