General guidelines for nominations
- All nominations must promote one or more of our brand values
- All nominations must be for the Greater Manchester Area
- Applicants need to write a minimum of 200 words giving an example of how the individual/organisation meets the criteria
Please send any supporting PDF documents or links to Jess@connectin.co.uk (Limit of 5 per nomination)
Please note: You only need one nomination per organisation or individual in a category - it isn't the amount of nominations they get. We would much prefer one as it makes it more difficult to shortlist otherwise as we can only pick one nomination to submit to the judges. You can however nominate an organisation or individual under more than one category but please write different nominations for each.
Criteria
To provide some guidelines and help around criteria we have created a list of key words the judges will be looking for. You DO NOT need to include all of these in your nomination, the below are just some pointers to help guide with the nomination process.
The following criteria should be considered:
Quality of Projects: The nominee should have completed several high-quality projects that demonstrate excellence in design, construction, and overall outcome. The judges will look for examples of projects that have enhanced the built environment and provided value for money.
Innovation: The judges will consider how the nominee have demonstrated innovation in the design and delivery of their projects. This may include the use of new technologies, the incorporation of sustainable design principles, or the use of creative financing structures.
Sustainability: The judges will review how the nominee have considered and addressed sustainability in their projects, including the use of renewable energy sources, green infrastructure, and other sustainable strategies.
Delivery: The nominee should have a proven track record of delivering projects on time and within budget, while maintaining high standards of quality and safety.
Community Engagement: The judges will consider how the nominee have engaged with local communities and stakeholders during the development process, including consultation, feedback, and contribution to community initiatives.
Ethics: The nominees should demonstrate high ethical standards and conduct business with transparency and integrity in all their operations.
Future Strategy: The nominees should demonstrate a clear and well-articulated strategy for the future, including plans for further growth and investment in the Greater Manchester region.
Overall, the judges will be looking for nominees who have made a significant contribution to the property development sector in the region, and who have demonstrated excellence in all aspects of their work.
Shortlisting
There will be a shortlisting process by a judging panel and a live public vote pre event (50/50 split) for all nominations with a winner for each category announced live on the event evening. The shortlist in each of these categories will be determined and informed by mid-September 2023. If you are shortlisted you will be contacted by a member of the events team to inform you about next steps.
