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.
Exceptional Customer Service: The bar must provide exceptional customer service to all patrons, treating them with respect and addressing their needs in a prompt and friendly manner.
Atmosphere: The bar must create a welcoming and comfortable atmosphere that leaves its patrons feeling relaxed and happy.
Menu & Drinks: The bar should offer a variety of high-quality drinks and a unique food menu that meets the tastes and preferences of their patrons.
Community Involvement: The bar must engage with the local community and demonstrate a commitment to improving the area.
Social Media Presence: The bar must have a strong social media presence and maintain an active engagement with its patrons through online channels.
Cleanliness: The bar must maintain a clean and hygienic atmosphere, ensuring that all areas of the bar are regularly cleaned and sanitised.
Staff Friendliness: The bar staff must be friendly, outgoing, and knowledgeable about the menu and the drinks they serve, being able to offer recommendations and suggestions to their patrons.
Entertainment: The bar should provide entertainment or events on a regular basis, including live music or DJ nights, themed events, or quiz nights.
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.
