Eighty Australian programmes. Open and close dates, categories, entry fees, past winners. Filterable and downloadable.
Open →The single change that improves an entry most, and why almost nobody does it in the right order.
Read →How scored criteria work, why specificity beats enthusiasm and the four ways good projects lose.
Read →The mechanical checks worth running before you press submit. Boring, and it saves entries every year.
Read →Plain definitions for the language award programmes use, from eligibility windows to scored criteria.
Open →The four things that go wrong, and why almost all of them happen before anyone starts writing.
Read →What is realistic at three weeks, one week and 48 hours. Told straight.
Read →What this is, what it costs, what happens to your material and what it will not do.
Open →Start with two answers.
Send an award you are actually entering and whatever project material you already have. You get two complete answers, the case we would make, the questions we would send your team and the claims that one more fact would unlock.
Credited in full if you go ahead. If you read it and walk away, you owe nothing further.
