Dentistry Awards are back

The team behind Dentistry are delighted to announce that the 2013 Dentistry Awards are now open for your entries!
Due to the increasing number of entries being submitted year on year we have developed the entry system to accommodate larger numbers for what looks set to be the biggest award ceremony to date. The online entry system has now been launched on www.dentistry.co.uk/awards. The new system offers an easier, faster and fairer way of submitting your entries.

How to enter
1.    Choose the categories you wish to enter; you can see full category descriptions at www.dentistry.co.uk/awards.
2.    Entry costs £60 + VAT per category, you may enter as many as you like.
3.    Call Karen Sherwood on 01923 851743 to pre-register your entry before the 26 July, all we will need at this point are your contact details and category choices.
4.    Your full entry can be submitted online before the overall closing date of 6 September 2013.
5.    Each category is split into subsections so the judges are able to mark each entry fairly on a set criteria.
6.    Don’t worry, we still want to see your unique supporting evidence. The evidence upload section allows you to add whatever material you think will support your statements, e.g. testimonials, images, practice photos. Be as creative as you like.
7.    Please note these are UK regional awards; please remember to select a region.
8.    Once submitted, sit back, relax and let the judges do the rest. Once the judging day has taken place the shortlist will be announced in our September issue of Dentistry  – so keep your eye out! If you don’t receive Dentistry, subscribe today!
