How to enter

Tell the story behind the result

Judges assess every entry relative to the organisation’s size, resources and starting point, so a small team’s breakthrough stands alongside a global site’s.

ImpactWhat changed, and for whom
InnovationWhat was new or brave
ExecutionHow well it was delivered
SustainabilityWhether it lasts

Organisations of all sizes, including manufacturers, CMOs, CDMOs, SMEs and relevant industry partners, may enter.

What entrants are required to provide

Each entry should clearly demonstrate:

  1. Challenge or opportunity: What problem, need or opportunity was identified?
  2. Approach taken: What actions, initiatives or solutions were implemented?
  3. Results achieved: What measurable improvements or achievements were delivered during the eligibility period?
  4. Supporting evidence: Relevant KPIs, performance data, case studies, testimonials or other credible evidence.
  5. Lasting impact: How the achievement improved performance and whether the benefits are sustainable.

Judges assess impact, innovation, execution and sustainability. Entries are assessed relative to the organisation's size, resources and starting point, rather than scale alone.

Entry rules

  • Deadline: 9th November 2026.
  • Maximum of three award categories per person or company.
  • Entrants must address the specific criteria of their chosen category.

The Industry Award and Grand Prix Award are special recognition awards, not standard open-entry categories.
