Tips on Winning an Award Nomination
How to get that "winner" title
With the 2023 Window + Door Awards currently open, many companies are wondering how they can achieve a winning title. Here are some tips on how to do so:
High resolution photos
Include high-quality photography (over 2 MB/4 inches at 300 dpi). Be creative with images. Go beyond straight product shots and show products being used or installed. Avoid submitting imagery with marketing copy overlaid on it.
Get specific
Be specific, thorough and concise. Fill out all fields, even if they aren't required. Clearly state why the product stands out.
Describe your entry with specific focus on unique and innovative elements. Don’t just copy product specs into the nomination form.
Be descriptive
Avoid using marketing language such as “the best,” “truly unique” or “most advanced/innovations.” Rather, explain what is unique, what makes it the best and what makes it so advanced.
Truly capture the product
Video is powerful. Provide links to videos online or create videos and post them to YouTube.
Peer review
Share your entry materials and descriptions with your colleagues and get feedback from them before filling out your nomination form.
