Q: How much do you charge?

Our standard drafting fees start from £1900 + VAT per entry. This includes meeting with you in order to have a better understanding of your business, and to gather the necessary background information, as well as drafting and fully managing each award entry – including having your entry professionally designed where permissible, and handling all the necessary but time-consuming admin.

Our standard drafting fee applies to about 95% of awards across the world. Exceptions include a small number of awards with particularly long and detailed entry processes, which we call our Flagship Awards, and some of these are priced individually as follows:

Flagship award fees

King’s Awards for Enterprise £6,900 + VAT

Top 100 Influential People £4,900 + VAT

International Business Awards (aka The Stevie’s) £3,900 + VAT

Ernst & Young Entrepreneur of the Year £2,495 + VAT

British Business Excellence Awards £2,495 + VAT

GB Entrepreneur Awards £2,495 + VAT

Princess Royal Training Awards £2,495 + VAT

International Business Excellence Awards £2495 + VAT

If this sounds expensive then bear in mind that writing a business award entry is a long and time consuming process to do well. There are lots of key factors to take into consideration, and you need to keep the criteria, and what the judges might be looking for, as the foundation of any solid entry. Entries must be tailored to each category: you can’t simply cut and paste a bit of marketing copy and expect it to be successful!

In any award, the judges will be looking for evidence of how you lead the field and innovate to improve. They want to know what business obstacles and industry challenges you have confronted and how you overcame them. They are looking to see how you shape events, anticipate problems and identify opportunities, rather than simply reacting to the market. They want examples of vision and strategic thinking. If you give the impression that success just fell into your lap, you won’t score highly – this is where we at Awards Intelligence come in – addressing these and other points, carefully crafting your entry, and doing all the hard work for you.
