25. AMEC Awards Strategy Checklist Make it a priority for your business. Winning entries take time. Establish an internal team to decide and play “judge” before submitting entries. Encourage fierce debate over each entry. If you only have one great report, enter it into multiple categories (budget permitting). Ensure you respond to all of the feedback from the judges for the following year. Study the winning case studies on the AMEC website. GOOD LUCK!
