14 Some obvios points! Check your spelling and your grammar Keep your formatting consistent-bullets points, numbering, indents, units, etc Have you answered the questionyou sure??? Check Are Remember the judges have no idea about your project. So have it proof read by someone who also doesn t know it Proof read it again! What did this project teach you and the organisation- then tell us about it 14

15 More points continued Believe in your project and explain why, how, you managed it Highlight best practice Its not necessarily about projects that have gone well- a lot don t! So tell us what you did Start early! Finally allow time to complete your submission budget on around 40 hours 15

16 A word on photographs Gather as many photos as you can then select the appropriate ones that tell your story REMEMBER the photos may be of interest to you but not to your audience Try to have people in the photo Photos need to be at least 300 dpi and 2MB+ for use in printed publications Between 5 and 10 photos can be loaded separately and should be labelled and numbered If it is a IT/virtual project, consider using your marketing imagery

17 Start with a Helicopter/Satellite View

18 Journalistic Content Try to balance project speak with some plain English. Keep it tight - short sentences without too much jargon or technical detail. Ensure you cover the Project Management issues, not the general project issues. Remember to have some sound bytes that can be used by AIPM and your organisation later. All projects are under budget, within schedule and have delivered the scope. Remember you are trying to win a project/individual award not a product award

19 Put it before them briefly so they will read it, clearly so they will appreciate it, picturesquely so they will remember it, and above all, accurately so they will be guided by its light. Joseph Pulitzer
