EVAS – Step By Step
Entries are closed.
The Entry Process
We ask entrants to choose categories they feel are relevant to them and their business, organisation, or mission. When the entries close on Tuesday 4 May, applications for each category will be assessed by the Executive Judging Panel. They will generate a shortlist of applicants per category.
The shortlist will be scored individually and independently by a panel of no less than three judges without any conferring. Once the shortlist scores have been collated, no more than nine finalists will be selected for each category. Finalists will be announced on Friday 4 June. Finalists are invited to various events online and in-person where they can meet the Judges, fellow Finalists, previous Winners and Sponsors.
Finalists attend an online twenty-minute interview which will be conducted by the panel of judges under the supervision of an adjudicator between Tuesday 22 June – Friday 2 July.
Finalists must attend the interview or they will be withdrawn from the awards process.
The judges are carefully selected from a variety of businesses covering various skills and expertise. The judges are impartial and independent, they will individually score each finalist, and these scores are then collated.
No single judge has the overall power to decide the winner.
Attending the Enterprise Vision Awards
All finalists are required to book a ticket and attend the Enterprise Vision Awards ceremony on Friday 24 September 2027, when the winners of each category will be announced.
The EVAS is about more than winning an award. It’s about being part of an extraordinary celebration, supporting fellow finalists, making valuable connections and sharing the excitement with hundreds of women who have worked just as hard to be there.
From the moment your name is announced to stepping onto the stage, the professional photographs, the atmosphere and the people you meet, these are experiences that simply cannot be recreated afterwards.
We recognise that attending involves a financial commitment. Through our Pay It Forward scheme, a limited number of supported places are available for finalists experiencing financial difficulties. Please contact us as early as possible if you need assistance.
We also understand that life can be unpredictable. If exceptional circumstances affect your ability to attend, please speak to the EVAS team as soon as possible.
Our RAG Timeline explains how participation and attendance relate to each stage of the awards journey, including finalist recognition, promotional opportunities and awards-related activity.
