How to impress the judges

Dr Liz MearChief Executive

Presentation 1

The judges

• Bear in mind who the judges are and when they will be assessing the applications

• Focus on what will make your application stand out for them e.g. how did your project/ programme benefit service users

• Key into the things that will be on their mind – improving quality of service, supporting staff, reducing cost

• They like to learn from the applications

The application

• Needs to be clearly written, in good English, without spelling mistakes

• Not repetitive• Highlight benefits succinctly• Include human interest stories/ quotes from

service users or staff

A perfect submission Shows an impact on service users’ lives

Demonstrates innovation in its field

Demonstrates financial results Tells a powerful story

The interview• Take a beneficiary who can tell the story e.g. service user or staff member

• Know the detail so you can answer questions

• A presentation doesn’t need to be on screen – bring equipment, visual aids

etc

• The judges are just like you – they work in service and want to see benefits

for service users

• Be ready to discuss the next steps for the issues outlined in your

application

• Reference any organisations you have worked with/ who have given you

insight into the issues you have been addressing

What not to do• Use the phrase ‘there was no cost’ – all

achievements come with a cost even if this is time rather than money

• Cram as much information into the application as possible – be succinct, judges can get overwhelmed

• Put too much information into supporting documents – these are to support your application but are not your application

• Conduct the interview over the phone, if at all possible attend in person – the judges can get to know you and see your enthusiasm
