Following are 20 top tips in how to stand out and win an award

1. Enter the awards and give it a go.
2. Be focused and work hard.
3. Every landlord and tenant you connect with ask for a testimonial.
4. Focus on increasing your online reviews.
5. Set goals, write them down and work towards accomplishing them.
6. Find a mentor who can assist you.  Talk to your co-workers or superiors for ideas.  There is power in collective thinking.
7. Attend as many training sessions and events as possible.
8. Search 'How to write a great award submission'
9. Search 'Award template examples'.
10. Review and tweak your social media platforms.
11. Evidence is the key to substantiate your submission.  Photos, document examples, reports, testimonials, surveys, editorials, etc.  How can you prove that you have fulfilled the criteria?
12. Take the time to think outside the box and be creative with your submission.  How can your submission stand out and be remembered?
13. Prepare yourself by reading the questions and work towards fulfilling and achieving the criteria in advance.
14. Focus on your key points of the submission and don't get off track.
15. Start with a short summary introduction and then outline in dot points (if applicable) how you have fulfilled the requirements, your achievements and why you are different.  You need to make it simple and easy for the judges to read.
16. Use a coloured pen on your draft copy to highlight how many key points you have outlined if a  question is not a dot point format.  Often points can be allocated to how many different  concepts, actions, processes or ideas are shared.
17. Check and triple check your submission to ensure that it makes sense and there are no  grammatical errors.  Ask a third party person to read it as well.
18. Visualise yourself receiving the award.
19. Never give up.  Not everyone wins an award the first time.  An award winning finalist is a grand title that will give value-added credibility to the recipient as well as open up many  doors of opportunity.   Just do it.
20. If you are not successful the first time... use your submission as a template and focus on making it better.
