Final Deadline: Tonight, September 13 (11:59 p.m. PT)
We are writing to let you know that we have not received your application for this year's Best in Business Awards. Please be aware that tonight, Friday, September 13 is your last chance to apply.
We understand that many of you are working diligently on your application for the impending deadline. To assist you, here are our editors' 3 best tips to creating a winning application:
- Get the basics right: Make sure to fully answer the questions that we're asking. If you're asked to explain how your company's achievement demonstrates industry excellence, please include any relevant information you have about the state of your industry. This will give our editors important context for your team's accomplishments.
- Maximize your chance: As part of your application, you'll be asked to enter to at least one category based upon your company's industry, or for your unique form of business excellence, but you're not limited to that one category. Applications are reviewed for each category individually, so applying for several categories relevant to your company gives you an even better chance at being selected.
- Err on the side of simplicity: Leave the jargon at home. Tell us, as you would a friend, about your organization's achievement and why it's so remarkable. Be specific about what you did and how, but be selective about the details you include.
You can submit your application here.
