Picking the right category to enter is the first step of the King’s Awards process, and it can make all the difference in how far your entry gets in the competition.
There are four categories available to enter: Innovation, International Trade, Sustainable Development (each of these has 2 sub-categories to choose from – Outstanding Achievement and Continuous Achievement), and Promoting Opportunity. The Promoting Opportunity category must demonstrate successful results over at least 2 years.
You may also enter more than one category if your business achievements span a variety of areas. Our Kins’s Awards experts will help you understand what each of the categories requires and make sure you are in the right place for a strong entry before you begin the entry process.
There are no specific numbers of awards allocated – the judges can award as many businesses they feel meet the requirements and benchmarks in that year’s competition. However in general the numbers of awards given out on average over the last few years are as follows:
Sustainable Development: Approximately 20
Innovation: Approximately 50
International Trade: Approximately 130
Promoting Opportunity through Social Mobility: Approximately 12
The next round of the competition will open on May 6th 2023, and closes in early September 2023.
It can often take many weeks and even months to gather the evidence you need to prepare a strong entry, so don’t leave it too late to get started – you may be surprised how much information is required!
The entry process for the King’s Awards is rigorous and highly detailed, requiring a high level of information that can be backed up by evidence.
Each King’s Awards for Enterprise category requires a different approach, but in general you will need to provide a compelling and detailed narrative of your business’ strategy for growth, corporate social responsibility, and trading and employee relationships. You must also be able to demonstrate how these achievements have developed over a set period of time.
In summary, you must win over the judges by demonstrating how your business stands out above others in your sector, region or trading environment.

Huyton, Founder & Director, Gaia Earth Sciences Limited & Gaia Earth Technologies Limited said: "We were in the rare situation that our innovation had been started by the first company and then developed and commercialised by the second one, making the application process far from straightforward.

OUR CLIENTS' THOUGHTS
WHY SHOULD YOU APPOINT AWARDS INTELLIGENCE?
An Awards Intelligence awards entry is special. Not only will we save you a great deal of time and hassle, our experts will significantly increase your organisation's chances of success.
The judges assess an organisation's merits based on the entry put forward. Our entries are not simply glorified press releases, or a list of marketing soundbites, branding jargon, or a load of unsubstantiated claims. Poor entries often fall into this trap, and a frequent complaint from those judging an entry is that the organisation could not prove the claims they were making.
Instead, our entries define what makes the organisation stand out from the crowd and demonstrate accurately and persuasively exactly how and where the company is best in class.
If you want to give your organisation the best possible chance of receiving recognition for competitor-beating achievements, complete the form or email enquiries@awardsintelligence.co.uk for a free assessment of your chances of success.
