A choice of Finalist Packs – in a nutshell </p>
<p>
Your entry’s opportunity to be shortlisted is unaffected by the pack you choose.[/callout1]

What’s included with each finalist pack </p>
<p>
Each element described, with pack differences explained in each instance.[/callout1]

Whilst you can just have your Key Speaker attend the conference, all the Packs encourage you to be at least four people for your entry’s day at the conference:</p>

<strong>Give the Talk</strong><br />
Key Speaker giving your presentation to conference.</p>
<p>Has no commercial interest in the entry.</p>

<p><strong>Extra Places</strong><br />
See the Premium Options below for extra conference places, enhancing your team presence and so more of you may benefit from the inspirational presentations and networking.</p>
<p><strong>Type of Place</strong><br />
The “Key Speaker” and “Offer Support” places are <em>Peer Awards Judge</em> whole-day places, and these people are acknowledged as such. If either person stays for part of the conference day instead, and misses some of the voting, then that acknowledgement no longer applies. </p>

We plan again an exciting and inspirational celebration for all the finalists, and especially for the winners when we announce the results of the votes. At the awards ceremony each winner is presented with a complimentary plaque. Also each finalist is given the certificates awarded to them by the conference judges. These are the actual votes cast by your peers, some with comments from the judges.</p>

<p><strong>Type of Place</strong><br />
The complimentary place at the ceremony is for the “Key Speaker” only. In the event that this person cannot attend, you may nominate an alternative person to take their place, but only if they are of at least the same level of seniority and could speak knowledgeably about your entry if invited to do so at the ceremony. </p>

<p>Your showcase page will be published when the final shortlist is announced.

<p><strong>Before you enter</strong><br />
You can attend an introductory conference call or a Peer Lunch meeting to find out more.</p>
<p><strong>When you have submitted your entry</strong><br />
If your written entry is of interest then we say that it is “nominated”. This means that you are being considered for selection as a finalist. </p>
<p>The next stage is that you would join a phone conversation, typically with the Director of the Peer Awards. This call serves two main functions:<br />
1. For you to be fully aware of key aspects of the Peer Awards<br />
2. For us to be fully aware of the key merits of your entry<br />
The type of call that you would have depends on your finalist pack.</p>

<p>We try to not simply reject entries that are not yet ready to be nominated for consideration. If your entry shows potential but just falls short in some way, we will come back to you with ideas about how you might resubmit.</p>
<p><strong>When your entry is selected</strong><br />
If everything is in order then we would hope to select your entry as a finalist. We offer guidelines that can help you when preparing your conference presentation if shortlisted. And we may provide you with feedback when you submit any visuals to accompany your conference talk, to help you make them as good as they can be.</p>
