Self-nomination is allowed.

Only organisations operating within South Africa and neighbouring countries qualify to enter (in certain categories exceptions may apply).

Entries are limited to qualifying as finalists in two categories, provided that a separate motivation letter and supporting documentation is provided for each category.

Only one entry form with company details needs to be submitted.

An independent judging panel will assess the entries.

Nominations will be judged on how well they meet the published criteria for each category and not judged against each other.

Judges look for clear and concise applications.

Examples may be used to demonstrate how the nominee meets the criteria of the category.

The judge’s decision is final, and no correspondence will be entered into.

No sponsor is eligible to enter the Awards.

Should sponsorship take place post nominations, this will result in immediate withdrawal of the company and/or individuals entry.

Holding companies and subsidiaries may not enter the same categories.

Entrants must also be prepared to meet and be interviewed by members of the media.

The Awards logo will be provided to you for use on your websites, and your logo is required for our marketing material.

No one employed as an independent contractor by Top Media Communications is eligible for entry.

No one acting as a Judge is eligible to enter, or to judge the entry of a company or department he or she may be employed by in any capacity.

On conclusion of the Awards, all copies of submissions will be destroyed and therefore not returned.
