Just 24 Hours to go to!

You have just 24 hours to both nominate in the first round of voting for the community choice awards and to submit your entries to our judged awards.

Remember the vertical awards can be entered by BOTH affiliates and merchants - so what are you waiting for :)

Entries are free and if you need any guidance give me a call on +44(0) 1179 723998.

Deadline for Voting & Award Submissions Extended until 1st May

To help those procrastinators out there we have extended the deadline for both the 1st round of voting for the publishers and community choice awards and the judged award submissions, until midday on Thursday 1st May 2008.

To remind you here is what you need to do to vote / enter:

1. Members of affiliates4u.com can vote here to nominate their winners for the publishers and community choice awards. Your signup demographic will show the awards you can vote for.

2. Members of affiliates4u.com can nominate individuals or companies for the ‘Affiliates4u Award for Excellence‘ another community choice award that does however require a testimonial type submission by a third party, an endorsement if you wish.

3. The judged awards, i.e Best Use of Creative, Best Network Innovation, Best Merchant Innovation etc require a one page summary stating why you feel you should win (templates are available for guidance)

What happens after 1st May?

We will total up the nominations for the publishers and community choice awards and release the top 5 for each category. Members of affiliates4u.com will then be able to make a final multiple choice preference for their winner. An overall winner and highly commended will then be announced on the 5th June.

The judged awards will be collated, uploaded online for the panel to digest and an overall winner and highly commended will be annonced on the 5th June.

The very best of luck to everyone who has chosen to enter. If you’ve not done so already you still have plenty of time to get recognised for your achievements.

Banners and buttons are available on the a4uAwards website to help spread the word about the awards to the wider community and to encourage your clients to vote for you.

Good Luck!

Help with your a4uAwards Executive Summary?

I came across this website, which may be helpful for those considering entering the a4uAwards, but not quite sure what an executive summary should look like.

http://www.rfp-templates.com/Executive-Summary-Template-and-Sample.html

an Executive Summary has basically nothing to do with product presentation, and everything to do with a persuasive sales pitch. It’s your unique opportunity to convince the reader that your product/service provides the best value proposition:

Hope this helps with your entries :-)
