WHY Enter the Insurance Awards?

It gives you the opportunity to celebrate your success and have your achievements recognized throughout the industry at the INSUREX Awards ceremony and through detailed press coverage in POLICY magazine and other publications.

The award not only represents a prestigious achievement, but also serves as an invaluable marketing tool ? raising the profile of your company.

Period of Activity:

Entries must focus on initiatives implemented from 1 Jan 2011 - 31 Dec 2011

Eligibility

You should read carefully the entry criteria for the categories you are interested in and ensure that you are entering the most appropriate categories. Some are open to any company or organization in the insurance industry, others are restricted to, say, intermediaries or authorized insurers. There are some categories that are open to individual or departmental nominations as well as corporate entries. If you are entering one of these categories you should make it clear precisely who or what part of the company is being nominated. You may enter more than one project or programme in a category. Joint entries are permitted and this should be clearly stated on the entry form. However, the judges reserve the right to assess if an entry really is a joint effort.

Supporting Material

The Judges like to have relevant supporting material. For instance, if a marketing campaign?s success is being partially judged on the media coverage it achieved, include links to examples of that coverage. Research documents, customer brochures, staff newsletters and training manuals all help demonstrate to the judges in a practical way what the entrant has achieved and should be included where relevant. The most important point to focus on when preparing any background material and supporting evidence is that it is quality and relevance that matter, not quantity.
