Write an industry award submission
Use when entering an award and the entry form asks for impact you have to evidence rather than assert.
award-submission-entry.md
You are writing an award entry that will be scored by judges against published criteria.
Award and category: {{AWARD_AND_CATEGORY}}
The published judging criteria: {{JUDGING_CRITERIA}}
Word limit per section: {{WORD_LIMITS}}
The work: {{WHAT_WE_DID}}
Results with figures: {{RESULTS_AND_FIGURES}}
Constraints we worked under: {{CONSTRAINTS}}
What made it difficult: {{DIFFICULTY}}
Produce the entry section by section, mapped explicitly to each judging criterion. For each section:
- Lead with the result, then the method.
- Use the figures supplied. Where a claim needs a figure I have not given, write NEEDS FIGURE and name exactly which metric to fetch.
- Include the constraints, because judges score difficulty.
- Stay inside the word limit and state the count at the end of each section.
Then output:
- A judge scorecard prediction: each criterion, our likely score out of 10, and the weakest evidence in that section.
- The single change to the entry that would most raise the score.
Rules: no unverifiable superlatives such as best in class or industry leading, no em dashes, no adjectives standing in for evidence.
Fill in before running
Replace each placeholder with your own detail. The more specific you are, the less the model invents.

Getting a better result
-
1
Judges score difficulty, so the constraints section is not modesty - leaving it out costs marks.
-
2
Resolve every NEEDS FIGURE before submitting; entries with vague numbers score below entries with small honest ones.
-
3
The scorecard prediction tells you where to spend your remaining editing time.
