 The final entry deadline for The 6th
annual American Business Awards is April 30. You may have
questions about which categories to enter, what are your
chances of winning in a given category, and so on.
(The ABA entry kit is
online.)
Like everything else in life, 20% of the ABA's
categories receive 80% of the entries. On the other end of the
scale, some categories receive relatively few entries, and the
competition is less intense in these categories.
Here are some categories to consider, if you're
still undecided about which ones to enter. Categories that
receive relatively few entries include:
- Best Chairman
- Best Franchisee
- Best Support Organization
- Best Support Team
- Any of the Live Event categories for meetings,
product unveilings, tradeshows, etc.
- Any of the non-executive individual categories
such
as Best Corporate Commmunicator, Best
Marketer, Best
Sales Director, and Best Support
Staffer. There is no
entry fee for these categories,
just the $35 late fee at
this point.
The majority of entries in the "Company" categories are
submitted by organizations with fewer than 2,500 employees. So
if your organization has more than 2,500 employees, we also
encourage you to submit to:
- Best Overall Company
- Most Innovative Company
- Best Business Turnaround
- Best Corporate Social Responsibility Program
- Best Corporate Environmental Responsibility Program
Every year we are surprised by how few companies ask for
our opinion about which categories to enter. If you have
questions, by all means - contact us - that's why we're here!
