PROMOTED CONTENT
Professionals across all areas of the space industry are urged to submit an entry or nominate a worthy colleague today. These include those in primes, small-to-medium enterprises (SMEs), university or research institutions, consultancies, industry associations, or any other space business.
The period of assessment for the submissions is from 1 January to 31 December 2023.
Entrants must meet the assessment criteria in their submissions by answering a range of questions, ensuring that they limit the responses to a maximum of 400 words per question.
The first question asks entrants to detail outstanding work over the calendar year 2023, and their approach to leadership, diversity, and inclusion, as well as how it influences their actions and activities in their business or organisation.
Following this, entrants must outline the steps they have consciously taken to stand out from their peers, and the results of their efforts.
Next, they can showcase their achievements by highlighting any major successes, milestones, or initiatives they have developed in their business and why it was important.
Entrants will also be asked to list the major challenges they encountered while undertaking and completing their work, how they overcame them, and what the key benefits or utility of their work are.
Finally, candidates must demonstrate the strategies and tactics they applied to generate new business, increase existing business, or develop new opportunities for their organisation.
