If you wish to enter your technology for the award, we will need you to complete the entry form as fully as possible, paying particular attention to the instructions regarding the level and amount of information required.

Your completed entry form must be sent to the ASC Administrator no later than 12th August 2011. Upon receipt of the entry form, we will notify all applicants to confirm that the information provided is complete. If you do not receive the confirmation within one week then please contact the ASC administrator to check that your entry has been received. If you do not receive an acknowledgement from us then your entry will not have been received and you will not be entered for the award.

Although we will ask for referees for the judges to contact, we will only make contact if the application becomes one of the short-listed nominations to be announced at the ASC Conference. As noted above, the first round of selection, for the short list of nominations, will be based entirely upon the written submission. It is therefore important that you provide as much information as possible, and include a detailed endorsement from the users, clients or beneficiaries of the software. As the award is for technology effectiveness, this information is essential.

If you wish to provide any supporting documentation, such as screenshots or client testimonials, please ensure these are relevant to the information you provide on the form. Please do not forward any marketing materials, PowerPoint presentations, demonstration versions of your software or similar, as these will not be considered by the judges.

If you have any questions relating to entry procedures, conditions or the award criteria, please contact the ASC administrator, Christine Jenkins at admin@asc.org.uk

Please send your completed entry form by email to admin@asc.org.uk with the subject “Award Entry Form” to arrive no later than 12 August 2011.
