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.
