The Better Society Awards 2027 close for entries on 15 January 2027. The programme recognises commercial organisations helping create a more equal, ethical and sustainable world. The homepage does not specify a closing time or timezone, so confirm the cutoff before planning a last-day submission.

Budget and Prepare Your Entry

  • £250 plus VAT covers unlimited entries; submit each category entry separately. Payment is required before entries are accepted.
  • The main entry guide sets a 1,000-word supporting statement covering the project, constraints, measurement and benefits to stakeholders.
  • The project should have launched or come to fruition within the last 18 months. State its timeframe clearly.
  • Upload Word or PDF documents, keep each file within 4 MB, and include a high-quality company logo and the nominated company's contact details.

Resolve the Differences Before Paying

The payment form restricts entries to UK-based companies, while the entry guide also refers to relevant organisations or individuals and the FAQ allows a UK presence. If you are relying on that broader wording, confirm your eligibility with the organiser before paying.

The guidance also differs on length: the main guide says no more than 1,000 words, but the FAQ allows 10% tolerance. Work to the stricter limit and ask before exceeding it.

Make the Social Benefit Concrete

Choose the category that fits your strongest evidence. Explain the need, what your organisation changed and who benefited. Pair a before-and-after measurement with a relevant beneficiary or partner account, and distinguish your contribution from the wider project's work.

Leave time for partners to approve names, figures and supporting statements. Crafting Winning Awards Entries offers a practical problem, solution and result structure for turning that evidence into a clear submission.
