Use this Application Form to enter the Enterprise Vision Awards. PLEASE NOTE: this application form DOES NOT auto-save. We recommend that you prepare your answers in a separate document - eg Word Document and copy and paste your final answers onto the form prior to submitting it. The character count includes spaces and punctuation marks. We DO NOT accept additional files or PDFs. You can save a Draft - make sure you save the link that will appear after you Save Draft - you can have this link emailed to you at the time you Save Draft. We DO NOT have access to the draft applications.

Please note that full participation in the Enterprise Vision Awards programme is a condition of entry. To ensure fairness for everyone who applies, all finalists must be available to take part in both of the following: • The online interview • The awards ceremony. Being shortlisted is a significant opportunity and places are extremely limited. If a finalist is unable to attend either the interview or the ceremony, it means another woman who was ready and available has missed out on that opportunity. The online interview is a mandatory part of the judging process. It allows judges to understand your journey fully and assess all finalists fairly and consistently. Attendance at the awards ceremony is an essential part of the EVAS experience. From celebrating your achievement and building meaningful connections, to taking part in official photography, filming and interviews that support ongoing visibility and promotion for you and your business. We operate a RAG timeline system and understand that life and business can occasionally throw a curveball. However, if a shortlisted finalist does not attend the online interview or the awards ceremony, their entry will be withdrawn from the process in line with our RAG system, and their EVAS journey will conclude at that point. https://enterprisevisionawards.co.uk/the-rag-timeline/
