Winning an UnAward is a very special thing.
But how can you win one?
Find out exactly how by getting the inside track from past winners and current judges in this special new webinar.

There’s plenty of time left to get your entries in to the 9th annual UnAwards.
I’ve seen first hand the difference an award shortlisting and win can make to an individual and to a team. Even an organisation. I truly believe that they’re a very important part of what we do.
External, independent recognition makes us feel good, yes, but it’s also an important endorsement that what we do makes a real difference and is considered to be good practice.
They look pretty good on the CV too.
I see brilliant work every single week on my travels around the UK working with teams.
But some teams are convinced that they haven’t done anything good enough to enter.
I disagree – everyone has delivered good and valued work in the past 12 months.
Now is the time to showcase your work – no one else will do this for you
It’s absolutely a time to be selfish and to spend some time on you and your work and to get an entry in, and see how far it can go.
The phrase “in it to win” is much over-used but it does however still ring true.
So what’s this new webinar?
It’s a one-ff chance to hear from past winners and current judges who will share their trade secrets about what has gone in to an UnAward win and, importantly, what the judges look for.
You can pitch in with questions to our extra special panel too.
Who is on the panel?
Alan Oram – judge and director at Alive with Ideas
Mandy Pearse - experienced award winner and judge
Laurel Chilcot-Smithson - strategic communications manager at Hertfordshire Council
Lindsay Coulson – experienced award winner
Hannah Yorke - social and digital consultant at Orlo

Alex Waddington - owner of Whetstone Communications

Plus, some previous winners and others involved in this year’s UnAwards.
When is it?
