[callout1] The Peer Awards celebrate successful innovative ideas.

Finalists present their entries at the Peer Awards Conference, where they also listen to and then judge one another’s entries.

And they all feature in The Independent newspaper and at The Times website.[/callout1]

What’s in it for you
in under 100 words

Just being shortlisted for a Peer Award for Excellence gets you exposure and recognition for your interesting CSR, Customer Engagement or HR initiatives.

Two things then happen…
1. Your entry features in the Peer Awards supplement in The Independent newspaper, at the Peer Awards microsite at The Times website, and at this website.
2. You will be invited to present your initiative at our conference, where you hear other finalists and help judge the Peer Awards. Being declared a winner at the subsequent champagne afternoon tea Awards Ceremony would then just be a bonus.
