Do I need to provide supporting evidence along with my application?
In all entries it is possible to include links to websites illustrating your responses or to cloud files containing relevant evidence. In some categories you may also attach a file (e.g. mystery shop report) but our experience is that the best entry forms and ones that judges prefer are usually those with limited number of attachments. Our recommendation is to focus on giving concise answers on the entry form and making sure you answer the questions. If you do this then additional files can simply become a time consuming and unnecessary distraction for both entrants and judges (i.e. quality is more important than quantity).
What happens after the entry is submitted?
All entries from within each category will be reviewed by the STARS Awards judging panel and winners will be announced at the fabulous awards ceremony on 24th October at Crowne Plaza Nottingham.
Can theatres enter the awards?
Yes – absolutely! Theatres are very welcome to enter any categories that are relevant to them such as Accessible and Inclusive Tourism, Ethical, Responsible and Sustainable Tourism etc.; please note that theatres are only eligible to enter the Attractions categories if they provide a tour, museum or exhibition element.
What date range do we mean when we ask for evidence from the past two years?
If a question asks you to give evidence from the last two years you will need to provide this from April 2017 – April 2019.
