The Personal Injury Awards 2023 is now closed to submissions.

The Personal Injury Awards provides a unique opportunity to highlight and celebrate the excellence of individuals and organisations across the sector.

The awards encompass all professionals and key service providers working in personal injury. Their aim is to identify high standards of practice and to inspire others to emulate the achievements of the sector’s finest practitioners and organisations.

The awards culminate in a black-tie ceremony and dinner, held in Manchester, where the finalists meet, network and celebrate as a profession.

The Personal Injury Awards 2023 will take place at the Hilton Manchester Deansgate.

In this entry pack, you’ll find everything you need to know about the entry process, categories, benefits of entering, and more!

How to enter

Entries open soon! And entering couldn’t be easer:

• Pick your categories. There’s plenty to choose from! Read the criteria for each and decide which ones will give you the best opportunity to demonstrate your strengths.
• Choose the form of your submissions. Each submission should be unique for every category you enter. Written submissions can be 250 to 1,000 words per category. Alternatively, you can enter a video submission up to five minutes long.
• Submit via the form. Submissions are only accepted via the entry form on the site.
• Attach your logo. If you make it to the shortlist, we’ll need a high resolution version of your logo for the ceremony, programme, and marketing campaigns. We accept .JPEG, .PNG and .EPS formats.
• Attach the nominee’s photo. If you’re nominating someone for an individual award, include a high-resolution colour photograph of them – ideally not a selfie.
• Sit back and wait for the news.

How to win

It’s all about being memorable and compelling:

• Start early. Give yourself plenty of time to carefully evaluate the criteria for the categories you’re entering and provide a well-produced submission before the entry deadline.
• Check the criteria. Each category has its own criteria, and each submission should be unique.
• Provide evidence. Include as many results and evidence of success as you can, including testimonials. Judges are there to be swayed, so sway them.
• Keep it simple. Write or speak clearly and concisely so the judges can quickly understand the points you’re making.
• Consult with the relevant team. Collaborate on your submission as you do your work, and ensure that your whole team contributes.
• Be enthusiastic, transparent, and honest. Inspire the judges by sharing your organisation’s ethos and passion for your work without trying to pull the wool over their eyes. Honesty is the best policy.
• Redraft and revise. Once your submission is ready, start again and interrogate every fact and figure. Are they correct? Question every claim. Is that true? Weigh your language. Is that a helpful term or an empty buzzword?
