3 tips for crafting a winning DWG award entry

Having an impressive digital workplace or modern intranet stands your organization in good stead for a win in DWG’s annual awards – however, it’s also important to make sure your award entry is just as good. 

Here are a few tips and tactics to help you ensure that your award entry does your digital workplace and/or intranet justice: 

This year we have streamlined the entry process, better enabling you, the entrant, to tell us why your digital workplace or intranet stands out. There will be a range of opportunities to win for demonstrating outstanding practice and impact.

Simply enter your digital workplace programme or initiative by filling in our application form and uploading any supporting documents or files.

Be as precise and detailed as possible

The judges really like specifics, whether these are specific metrics, detailed descriptions or clear evidence. Where entries are vague or theoretical, filled with marketing speak, or lacking in specifics, they are harder for judges to assess and therefore tend to be marked down.  

While there’s nothing wrong with really going for it and ‘selling’ your digital workplace or intranet, make sure that the eye-catching headlines and snazzy straplines can be backed up by facts and figures! 

Show and tell

All of our judges are really into the digital workplace… but, with a lot of entries to fully consider, they really appreciate entries that make it easier to see and understand what makes yours stand out from the rest.  

Previous winners have done this by providing additional materials, such as short video clips that give an overview of the environment in a quick and engaging manner. Another approach is to submit a short slide deck of illustrative screenshots and materials with clear labelling explaining what you want the judges to look at.

Hopefully, these tips will help you to craft a winning entry for the 2025 season of the Digital Workplace Group Awards. An award entry can be an opportunity for the team to reflect on achievements, approaches, plans, gaps, etc. – so take your time, get the right people involved, and make the award entry count. 

The awards, now in their eighth year, celebrate those organizations and practitioners who have excelled at creating well-executed, high-performing digital workplace environments. 

They provide the perfect opportunity for you and your organization to share your digital workplace achievements with peers and to gain global industry recognition. 

The deadline to submit your entry for any of the 2025 awards is June 27, 2025 at midnight (BST).
