Spotlight Rail Award Categories

We have 18 categories covering a wide range of specialisms which will allow your organisation to gain the exposure it deserves, with our judges looking for demonstrable evidence against our four key criteria. With a completely independent judging panel, the emphasis is on the quality of the entry, whether you are a micro-company or a multi-national, the judging process will be based solely on the product, project, service or solution, giving everyone an equal chance to win, or be highly commended.

Hints and Tips
1. Assume the judges haven’t heard of your organisation and don’t have any knowledge of your experience in the sector
2. Lay out your entry clearly and concisely to make it easier to read. We have limited the word count for entries to make this easier
3. Explain your project fully in line with each of the four criteria and ensure it reads and flows well
4. Keep to facts and figures – by quantifying why the project was successful, it will paint pictures in the judges minds and elevate your entry
5. Before you submit your entry, put yourself in the role of our judges to see if there are any facts you have omitted, and that it reads well to someone with no prior knowledge
