Award Submission Writing Service
Winning business awards isn’t just about being great at what you do—it’s about how well you tell your story.
At Kestrel HR, our expert award submission writing service helps you craft compelling, evidence-led entries that stand out to judges and dramatically increase your chances of success.
Entering awards takes time, strategy, and specialist writing skills. Many strong businesses miss out simply because their submissions don’t clearly demonstrate impact or meet judging criteria.
Our experienced team helps you:
- Translate your achievements into powerful, persuasive entries
- Align your submission with judging frameworks
- Showcase measurable outcomes and real impact
- Save time while improving your chances of winning
Whether you’re entering industry awards, HR awards, or national business competitions, we ensure your entry is competitive, polished, and submission-ready.
Our Business Awards Entry Writing Service
We do the heavy lifting, so you don’t have to.
We:
- Work directly with your teams to gather all the right information, saving you valuable time
- Ask the right questions to uncover achievements you might otherwise overlook
- Analyse judging criteria in detail, ensuring every entry hits what judges are really looking for
- Manage timelines and deadlines end-to-end, removing last-minute pressure
If an award requires a video submission, we’ll also liaise with your video production partners to help you create
something that truly stands out.
What makes our entries different?
1. Award criteria analysis
We start by understanding exactly how entries are judged, so your submission aligns perfectly with the scoring framework.
2. Compelling storytelling
Judges read hundreds of entries. We create a clear, persuasive narrative that highlights impact, innovation, and what genuinely sets you apart.
3. In-depth information gathering
Through interviews and detailed questioning, we uncover data, insight, and examples that add credibility and substance.
4. Meticulous editing and proofreading
Every entry is polished for clarity, flow, and impact — professional, persuasive, and error-free.
5. Project management
We manage drafts, feedback, approvals, and deadlines, keeping everything on track even with tight timescales.
6. Full submission support
If you want us to, we’ll handle the entire submission process, ensuring everything is formatted correctly and submitted on time
How much does it cost?
We offer transparent pricing, either per submission or by word count.
As a guide:
A 1,000-1,500 word entry costs £1,475 (+VAT)
This includes research, drafting, and detailed editing.
Final costs can vary depending on award requirements, category complexity, and supporting materials.

FAQs
Am I guaranteed to win?
No award can ever be guaranteed — and we’ll always be honest about that.
What is guaranteed is a high-quality, professionally written submission you can reuse internally and externally to celebrate success, build your employer brand, and showcase your achievements — win or not.
How long does it take?
Ideally, allow six weeks from start to submission.
If deadlines are tighter, talk to us — we will always do our best to accommodate.
Can you help us choose the right awards?
Absolutely.
A planned awards strategy across the year is often far more effective (and cost-efficient) than last-minute entries.
We maintain a comprehensive schedule of hundreds of awards across all sectors — local, national, and selected international.
By planning categories and timelines in advance, we:
- Work comfortably within deadlines
- Target awards that genuinely suit your business
- Identify cost savings for multiple submissions
