HOW IT WORKS
The simple nomination form makes it easy to put a spotlight on the worthy business support professional in your organisation. Nominations are accepted from line managers, colleagues and you are invited to self-nominate.
Once a nomination has been received, the nominee will be notified and invited to apply for the awards. Please pay close attention to:
Completing the application before the deadline
Paying close attention to the award criteria and questions and making sure all requested details are provided
Submitting as much evidence to support your application as possible. This should include any social proof (recognition posts, thank you or feedback emails, project details and more).
Only administrative professionals are invited to apply. You must be able to demonstrate that your title and role are 90% administrative. The most common job titles would likely include Executive Assistant, Administrative Assistant, Virtual Assistant, Office Manager, Chief of Staff, Personal Assistant, etc.
You will also receive a link to share with colleagues to provide any further evidence of your achievements and impact to the business and those you support. This could range from a quoted testimonial to any supported evidence they are happy to provide. Please note that the number of nominations and evidence submissions will influence the judges. We are looking to recognise members of the community no matter the company size.
The shortlist of finalists will be announced in March
Shortlisted applicants will be invited to the Business Support Awards to find out if they have won on the big night.
Please be aware the following will NOT help your application:
Do not put too little information on the application. Take your time and make sure you have shown evidence that you were able to meet the criteria required for the award
Nominations and supporting evidence are welcome from colleagues only. We know your friends and family love and support you but as this is an industry award, only those you have worked with would be appropriate to support your application.

FAQs
I’d love to apply but I’m not sure if I have done enough. Should I apply?
We get this a lot for members of the assistant community. It can be hard to talk about yourself and brag a little. As they say, “You have to be in it, to win it.” There is no harm in applying. Make sure you check the award criteria, eligibility details, and that you answer the nomination form questions carefully for the best possible chance to be selected.
Can I nominate someone for more than one award?
Absolutely, you just have to fill out the form for each category.
Just make sure you put which awards you are nominating them for and make sure you give some supporting statement that supports nomination for each chosen award.
