#CNAwards: Have a look at the top tips for your entry

The entry deadline for this year's Construction News Awards is fast approaching!

*** Don't miss out, start your entry today or log in and complete your submission! ***

The awards will celebrate and showcase the very best the construction industry has to offer. More than 70 industry experts will evaluate and review your entries, helping to create shortlists for each category, which will be revealed in April 2025.

This year participants can choose from 24 categories, recognising outstanding projects, groundbreaking innovations and forward-thinking companies.

Finalists will be invited to present in front of a judging panel allocated to their category, with the live judging taking place in late May at emap's central London office.

Submit your free entry before the 14 February 2025 deadline:

To ensure that your submission is your best work, take a look at our hints and tips below:

• Make a note of the deadline: you must submit your entry by 14 February 2025
• Preparation is key: now that you know the deadline, allow yourself plenty of time to write, develop and submit your entry – coming back to it with a fresh pair of eyes can help you remember important details that may make the difference between being shortlisted and just missing out
• Make the judges' job easy: write in clear, plain English, avoid too much jargon and use bullet points where appropriate to break up the text
• Pay attention to grammar and spelling: poorly presented entries lack credibility so don't lose out on being shortlisted on something you could have easily avoided
• Involve the right people: involve your mentors and supervisors in developing the entry – they will often see the great work you do that you might overlook
• Back up your entry: take advantage of the option to attach documents to support your entry with useful information that will help the judges to understand the impact of your work and career to date
• Proofread, proofread, proofread: ask someone else, such as a colleague, friend or manager, to look through your entry before you submit. It can be helpful to ask someone who was not directly involved in your career – like the judges they will not have detailed knowledge so they may suggest ways to clarify your entry
