Categories
This year, the competition is open for applications and recommendations in seven different categories. We recommend familiarising yourself in advance with the information provided in both the category guidelines and the application form. Under each category button, you can find and submit both the application and recommendation forms.
What should be considered when submitting an application?
The category statutes specify the economic indicators and achievements that will be evaluated by the competition juries. In the application forms, we ask for the raw data on which these indicators are based. For example, if we assess the percentage growth of value added per employee, the form will ask for the following data, such as operating profit, depreciation of fixed assets, labour costs, and number of employees — we will calculate the value added growth based on these inputs.Some of the economic indicators need to be entered in case the annual report for the year 2024 has not yet been submitted at the time of application.
Please note that we will additionally take some of the economic data directly from previous years’ annual reports.
After the application period ends, only companies that have submitted their 2024 and previous years’ annual reports will be eligible to proceed in the competition.
When applying, it’s very important that you tell your story — what you have actually achieved. Also include the actions you plan to take as your next steps. And don’t forget your team — involve them and let them share what you’ve accomplished together!
