How much does it cost to enter?For 2025, the awards are free to enter.
Can I start my entry online and finish it at a later date? Yes you can. Our nomination form allows submitters to save their entry as a draft and add to it at a later date.
Can I amend my entry once I have clicked 'save and submit'?No, entries cannot be amended once they have been submitted for the judge’s review.
What supporting documents are allowed? We can accept most file types via the nomination form. If you have any issues uploading a file, please email it to lauren.wilson@governance-intelligence.com.
There is no limit or word count for supporting documents, but please avoid including superfluous documents if they are not relevant to the entry. Remember it is quality and relevance that matter.
How will my entry be judged?The judging process is made up of three simple phases:
Phase one: Once the entry deadline has passed, the Governance Intelligence editorial team reviews all submissions and produces the shortlists
Phase two: The shortlisted entries are shared with an independent judging panel made up of industry experts. The judges review each shortlisted entry and select their top two picks per category
Phase three: The judges come together to discuss, debate and select the final list of winners who will go on to win an award
The judges’ votes are not made public, but their comments may be published in articles or reports after the event. Judges are not required to make comments against every submission
Can I hyperlink text in the entry form? No, the entry form does not allow for text to be hyperlinked. However, there is space in the supporting documents section to add links that support your nomination.
Will my entry be shared with anyone else apart from the Governance Intelligence team, the judging panel and Hall of Fame panel?Information from your entry (including any files you upload) may be made public after the awards to substantiate your nomination. If you do not wish for your entry to be shared in this way then you should mark it as confidential. There will be an opportunity to do this in the entry form.
When will I know if my entry has made the shortlist?We will inform shortlisted companies and individuals from September 2025 onwards.
