These are annual Awards. Entries must be submitted between 21 April and the last working day of September in the same year. Is there an entry fee? 4. No the Awards are free to enter. What are the eligibility criteria for these Awards? 5. As a minimum, any organisation entering the Awards must operate in the UK, including the Channel Islands and the Isle of Man, and employ a minimum of two full-time employees. Unlike personal Honours, The Queen s Awards are given to a business as a whole. Entries are not accepted from individuals. Divisions within organisations, if they have sufficient separate identity, are eligible to enter. 6. Entrants must be able be able to demonstrate commercial success over a minimum of two or three years, depending on the category entered. The specific criteria for each category of the Awards (International Trade, Innovation and Sustainable Development) are outlined in the individual guidance notes that accompany the relevant entry forms. There is a specific requirement for the International Trade category that entrants must have achieved a minimum of 100k export sales in the first year of their entry. 7. Businesses are required to provide assurances of responsible conduct in managing the impact on society and the environment, in the selection and control of suppliers, management of the production process and of human resources, and customer service. They need to provide evidence of success in these fields, including any specific initiatives. Such evidence will count in the entrant s favour. 8.

Any entries that may bring a reputational risk to the Awards will not be accepted. How do I complete an entry form? 10. Entries must be made on the appropriate forms which are available, together with the accompanying guidance notes, from the Queen s Awards website at: PDF copies may be downloaded for drafting purposes but all forms must be submitted online. Entrants should complete forms fully and accurately, taking care to closely follow the instructions for each section and provide as much information as possible. Can I enter more than one Award category? 11. Yes, providing your business meets the eligibility criteria for each category you wish to enter. QA0067_BG_General_Note_v4.indd 2 15/04/ :50
3 How do I submit a completed entry form? 12. Completed entries must be submitted electronically on The Queen s Awards website at: Entrants will receive an acknowledgement from The Queen s Awards Office confirming their unique reference number which will begin with QA eg QA0123/14T. If an is not received, entrants should contact the helpline promptly. In November, entrants will be notified if their entry has been shortlisted for the Awards. 13. The Queen s Awards Office cannot enter into correspondence about either the merits of a particular form or its progress during the Awards process. What happens after I submit my form? 14. Following an independent technical assessment of your entry, if you are shortlisted you will be asked to provide an independent practising, qualified accountant s or auditor s certificate confirming your commercial performance figures/estimates and compliance with the applicable accounting standards in preparing the entry. This request is usually made in November but does not indicate that an entrant will necessarily gain an Award. The costs for this exercise are borne by entrants to the Awards. What should I do if there are changes to information already submitted? 15. The Queen s Awards Office must be advised promptly, and certainly before winners are announced on 21 April, if there are any changes to the information supplied on the entry form eg changes to the entrant s personal details or to the name/ownership/ structure of the organisation which occur/ are expected to occur. Updated information should be submitted for consideration to: info@queensawards.org.uk. How are entries assessed and who judges them? 16. HM The Queen bestows the Awards on the advice of the Prime Minister, who is assisted by an Advisory Committee that includes representatives of Government, industry and commerce, and the trade unions. 17. During October and November, entries are assessed for each Award category against therelevant criteria by contracted, independent technical assessors and a shortlist is drawn up. In addition to the commercial data verification exercise, The Queen s Awards Office undertakes due diligence checks of the shortlisted candidates. The results of these exercises are used to inform the next stage of the process. 18. The shortlist is considered by panels of judges, made up of public and private sector experts, which appraise the relative merits and commercial success of the entrant businesses. Each category has a separate judging panel and is chaired by a Permanent Secretary: Department for Business, Innovation and Skills (Innovation), Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Sustainable Development) and the Chief Executive of United Kingdom Trade and Investment (International Trade). These panels make their recommendations to the Prime Minister s Advisory Committee which is chaired by the Head of the Home Civil Service. 19. The membership of the Advisory Committee is provided in Annex A. QA0067_BG_General_Note_v4.indd 3 15/04/ :50
4 When do I find out if I have been successful? 20. The Queen s Awards Office will notify all entrants of the final outcome of their entry in April, shortly before the public announcement of the winners on 21 April, The Queen s birthday. Details of Awards winners are published as a supplement to the London Gazette and are listed on The Queen s Awards website. What happens if I win an Award? 21. An Award presentation ceremony is conducted at the winners premises by the Lord-Lieutenant of the County as HM The Queen s representative. The Awards consist of a Grant of Appointment and a presentational item bearing the Emblem. An Award is valid for five years. 22. Successful businesses may fly the Queen s Award flag at their principal premises and are entitled to use the Queen s Award Emblem on their stationery, advertising and goods. Commemorative articles can be given to employees. 23. Additionally, HM The Queen usually hosts a reception at Buckingham Palace for representatives of the winning businesses. Is there a set quota of Award winners each year? 24. There is no set number of Awards, the nature of the Scheme is competitive and the Advisory Committee is charged with maintaining a high standard. Since the entries are judged solely on merit, there is no allocation of Awards for particular industries or regions. 25. Details of the number of Awards granted and entries received are provided in Annexes B and C. Will I receive feedback on my entry form? 26. Unsuccessful businesses receive feedback on the assessment of their entry. This highlights perceived strengths and weaknesses, indicating whether the entry has failed to match the competitive standard when judged by one of the key criteria or has been unsuccessful for some other reason. It may also indicate the assessors view of their underlying performance and provide notes on how they might improve their entry, should they decide to re-enter. Feedback will be sent around the time of the announcement of winners. How are standards of propriety maintained? 27. The Queen s Awards Office is charged with ensuring that the Awards are only granted to businesses that maintain the highest standards of propriety. It is meticulous in verifying the authenticity and credibility of entrants to the scheme and conducts comprehensive checks for all prospective winners. As part of this verification process, Government Departments and Agencies are required to provide detailed information about any company to whom they believe it would be inappropriate to grant a Queen s Award. This includes breaches of the law (including EU law), tribunal hearings, adverse media comment or serious complaints involving quality, reliability or broken delivery promises. 28. All entrants are required to give their consent on the entry form to all necessary enquiries being carried out by The Queen s Awards Office. QA0067_BG_General_Note_v4.indd 4 15/04/ :50
