How to enter the Smarter Travel Awards

Deadline: Friday 4 August 2017

1. Read the Smarter Travel Awards 2016 Guide.

The Guide explains what the Panel will be looking for and contains a detailed description of each category.

2. Choose the category you wish to enter.

We want to keep it simple. Some of your work will straddle more than one Award, but nonetheless please choose one category for each application. An organisation or business is welcome to submit more than one application.

Note the detailed criteria for your Award, here on the website and repeated in the Guide.

3. Prepare your application

Please avoid repetition and make sure you stick to the word limits. The application form is straightforward:

• Smarter Travel Awards Category

• Title (of your project, service or scheme)

• Description (no more than 1,000 words)

• Outcomes and impact (no more than 300 words)

• Evidence (list of supporting material, to be submitted by e-mail - see below).

• Contact details (name, position, organisation, address, landline, mobile, email).

4. Ideally, get the formal endorsement of your organisation or company.

It would help your awards nomination  if you were able to ask your organisation or company to formally endorse the application, with a letter of support signed by a senior person, such as the chief executive, managing director or local authority cabinet member.
