1. Find out more
The Peer Awards are very innovative, so you may well have questions for us to answer by phone or on a conference call.
2. Submit your entry
Entry right now is free. The form doesn’t take long and we will let you know if any clarification is required.
3. Being Shortlisted
The Peer Award is not a typical award. The Peer Conference is not a typical conference.
Entrants are practitioners with a real story to tell, and our Team works with them when nominated to help shape a presentation they can be proud of, and offers feedback to help them succeed at conference.
4. Speak at Conference
Candidates shortlisted for the conference vote present at the Peer Conference, and are entitled to discounts for themselves and their colleagues. The talk itself can be delivered by pre-recorded video, for instance if your speaker cannot attend in person.
5. Acknowledging Inspirational Ideas
At the end of each conference day we present certificates to each of the Finalists, and a special certificate to the candidates that conference attendees deem to have expressed the most inspirational ideas.
6. Online Vote
We plan to showcase short video clips of inspirational submissions from candidates shortlisted for the online vote after the Peer Conference and before the Awards Ceremony.
7. The Awards Ceremony
At the Awards Ceremony we announce the winners in the various Peer Award categories for the conference and online votes, and the winner of the overall 2012 Peer Award for Excellence. This will be a distinctive, inspirational and enjoyable event to attend with your colleagues.
8. Winners’ Raids & Webinars
To do justice to the invaluable experience of the outstanding Peer Award winners we look forward to offering Company Raids, where people visit the winners’ office for the day to discuss their entry with them, followed by a Winners’ Webinar where a wider audience can join the discussion online.
