Awards are scored, not read. A judge has a rubric with weightings on it, sixty entries to get through, and a box on the form for each criterion. An entry that tells a lovely story across the wrong boxes scores badly, and nobody ever explains why.
First you’ll need the entry form. We’ll need the requirements and word limit for each question. The remainder of the entry will be fitting evidence into the boxes provided while using the exact word limit.
You may not have all the requested data. Judges score evidence, so entry which states the campaign performed well loses to an entry which states a score and provides a source. We cannot guarantee shortlisting or a win, and any writer claiming to do so is speculating. What we can control is whether the entry provides an answer to the question(s).
Entries that exceed the word count answer the question that they imagine was asked. They also fictionalise the evidence, and awards bodies are demanding increasingly persuasive demonstrations before including a subject on the shortlist. An entry that is disqualified due to the unsubstantiated number is more expensive than the fee.
The writer reads through the criteria, weightings and last year’s winner information published by the organizer to determine what evidence will go in each section. Questions are asked early and even at the risk of being an annoyance, as it is easier to adjust with an answer than to fill in the blanks. Drafting will be the last of the stages to be completed.
Each answer is its own labeled block, along with the question and word count, so there is no need to trim anything to enter each block. Notes that cite evidence are included, and notes without evidence are explained in covering notes. We recommend you place your order at least a week ahead of the deadline. The portals close exactly on deadline, and we cannot go back and reopen them.
One rate, whatever the format: $10 per 100 words. You are paying for the writer’s time and judgement, so the price scales with the words rather than with a package tier.
| Typical award submission | Words | Writing | Fee (1%) | You pay |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Single category entry | 800 | $80 | $0.80 | $80.80 |
| Entry with supporting statements | 1,500 | $150 | $1.50 | $151.50 |
| Multi-category submission set | 2,500 | $250 | $2.50 | $252.50 |
The writer receives 100% of the writing price. Our 1% fee is added on top of it, and 0.5% is donated to tree planting. Full pricing breakdown.
Anything from 100 words up. Because you pay by the word you are never buying padding to fill a package tier.
Yes. Tell us the volume and cadence and we keep the same writer on the account so the voice stays consistent. The rate does not change with volume.
We do not assume. Send the entry pack because different years have different questions and different weightings and last year’s guidance is typically wrong. If the criteria are available online, tell us where and the writer will use the most current version.
We won’t pretend to know the exact nature of the judging criteria. You will not find clear answers as to what winning entries have in common. However, there are categories which have a lot of strong entries, whereas other categories receive few. A good entry stops you from losing due to a poor presentation.

Two out of four outlets put your article out exactly like it was in our lead paragraph. Every other lead-in has either ignored or rewritten our releases. What’s notable here is that our lead-in this time was our measurement change, while in the past it was company achievement.
The release covers the number first, and puts the CEO quote in the fourth position. It was picked by two industry magazines. One modified six words. I have been a writer of releases for 15 years, and that has only happened to me on two occasions.
Our old procedures were written by people who understood the process. These are not. They name each button on each step. Two of our newer drivers used them without even asking me questions, which has never happened before.
We do not ask you to take the no-AI promise on trust. Each draft is run through these platforms and the reports are attached to your delivery email.
