When was the last time you submitted a stand-out entry into a property industry award?

There are multiple incentives to seeking a win in a high-profile awards competition in 2025. Success can benefit your company in many ways.

If the idea appeals to you, you might have one or more reasons why you’re hesitating about taking part.

  • You’ve entered previously and had no success.

  • Preparing entries would overstretch your marketing resources.

  • You’re not sure if there’s a category that rewards the part of your business that you really want to highlight.

But there are lots of very good reasons for submitting a high-quality entry for an esteemed awards title and to maximise the benefits of success, which can substantially outweigh the time and effort invested in the submission process.

Prestige – Recognition for all the hard work you put in to make your business successful for that.

Differentiate yourself from the competition – Whether it’s what you build, innovation and forward-thinking of design and longevity, the team that helps you run your business, customer service, how you work with other companies and organisations – there are awards for these and many other aspects of your business.

Visibility – A prominent winner’s logo on your website and in brochures, your name as a winner on numerous industry and other news websites and publications, and something to include prominently in future promotions.

Rewarding, retaining and attracting the best talent – Especially as the industry grows to meet the demand for new homes, don’t have the best people working for your competitors instead of you.

A company profile audit – An opportunity to reassess your business and see what deserves recognition now, what can be nurtured to stand out in the future, and what might need a priority re-think, especially if just a small change will lead to considerable improvements. The journey of creating an award entry can lead to successes outside the competition too.

  • My honest approach – if I think you or your product aren’t ready for a particular award category, I’ll tell you why so that you can consider whether to pursue it or not.
