We’ve shared tips on writing an award-winning entry but what is it the judges are actually looking for?

First and foremost, authenticity. Tell us why you love what you do and what makes your business special. Avoid overused jargon and keep it personal.

Passion matters too. Your images and supporting evidence will showcase the incredible work you deliver, but your words also need to bring that to life. Let the judges feel your enthusiasm through your entry and testimonials.

And finally…show us your work. From guest reactions and behind-the-scenes moments to those tiny details that make a difference, the more evidence you include, the more powerful your entry becomes.

You can include everything from professional imagery and reels to testimonials, albums, mock-ups and real examples of your work.

The key is choosing evidence that best represents your business and the impact you have on your couples.
