Additional criteria

Entries should include a concise case study, supporting figures and, where possible, client or colleague evidence. Client names and commercially sensitive numbers may be anonymised or given as percentages and ranges, and nothing in an entry is ever shared beyond the judging panel. Judges consider the size of the practice or team, so sole practitioners and smaller firms compete on equal terms.
