As a UK-based organisation, most of our entries do come from businesses, organisations and individuals based in the UK and Ireland, but we do and will accept entries from all over the world.
The APEA reserves the right to exclude any Awards entry from a business that have gone into administration or are affiliated with another business that has gone into administration in the three years leading up to the Awards.
Access the online entry platform via multiple links on this page, register yourself as a user (or log in if you have previously registered) - you will only need to do this once.
When registering, the system will ask you for some basic personal information - this is so we can contact you to discuss your entry in the future, so it's important that this information is recorded and is accurate.
One registered, choose the award categories you wish to enter from a drop down menu, then fill in the appropriate entry question forms.
The questions are simple and straightforward and each has a guidance note below which helps you understand how the judges will be scoring.
Yes, we strongly encourage you to enter for multiple Awards! But please make each entry unique! We reserve the right to exclude an entry from more than one category if the entry is the same across both categories.
You can enter the same product or service in multiple categories, but please ensure you tailor the submissions for each category differently and name your submissions differently. Highlight the benefits of your product/service in a way that specifically suits the themes of each category.
You can enter different products and services in the same Award category. Providing each entry is unique, we welcome as many submissions as possible, even from the same company in the same category.
