3. Use ‘I’ and ‘we’. That is, write in the first person to personalise your story.
4. Include evidence for what you have achieved. Data is important – statistics, facts, quotes.
5. Stick to the word count limit. Words over the limit won’t be judged.
6. Include everything that’s asked of you – referees, financials.
7. Once you’ve drafted your entry, print it out and read it aloud. You’ll hear where the language doesn’t sound right. This gives you the opportunity to edit your entry before submission.
8. When you’ve made all your changes, proofread it so that it’s free of typos and other errors.
