- The same project can be entered in different categories but a separate submission must be sent for each one, geared towards the category it is entered into.
- Public sector organisations can still enter multiple submissions for the same category with different projects, should they so choose.
- Entries are scored using the published criteria for each category in addition to the general criteria.

The Judges Choice
Below are the Special Recognition Awards. The Special Recognition Awards are different from the awards mentioned above, with one main distinction: your organisation or team cannot submit an entry to be considered for the Special Recognition awards – they can only be nominated by our expert judges.
For your entry to the main award categories to be considered for the Special Recognition awards, before submitting we recommend that you review the criteria which the judges will use to assess entries. This will increase your chances of making the Special Recognition Awards shortlist.
