NOMINATION GUIDELINES

What happens next?

You have until Friday 19 July to nominate in as many categories as you wish, providing as much information as possible meeting the set criteria.

Our judges, made up of colleagues from a range of clinical and non-clinical roles, will be assessing the entries and choosing our winners. This year’s finalists will be announced in September with the 2024 mydentist Excellence Awards ceremony being held on Friday 18 October at the Hilton Hotel in Manchester.

 

Why should you nominate?

Only you know how great your colleagues are unless you shout about them, so don’t hold back and nominate in as many categories as you can. Whether it’s an exceptional Dentist, Receptionist, Therapist, Hygienist or a Support Centre colleague or team, we want to hear all about them!

Nominations are judged based on how much of the is covered. Finalists are not chosen based on the number of nominations they receive, so please remember this, and use the criteria to tell us as much information as you can to make each nomination count.

 

How to nominate

Make sure you have read the category criteria. Complete the nomination form for each nomination you wish to submit. Once you submit the nomination, you cannot amend it. If you plan to enter more than one nomination, you need to submit separate entries.

THE RULES

  • All entries must be submitted via our nomination form.
  • The deadline for all nominations is midnight on Friday 19 July.
  • All nominations must fit the criteria outlined. Any nominations received that don’t fit the criteria or contain the relevant evidence will not be considered.
  • You can submit nominations in more than one category, provided that each entry has been specifically written to address the relevant criteria.
  • You can submit nominations for yourself, your team or you can nominate a colleague or another team.

JUDGING

All nominations are currently going through a multi-step judging process.

Firstly, all nominations are reviewed to make sure that they meet the criteria for each category. If your nomination doesn’t meet all of the mandatory criteria points, it will not be put forward to the judging panel.

The judging panel is made up of 15 colleagues from within mydentist from a mix of clinical and non-clinical roles. Each category is split between multiple judges who read and score each nomination out of 10 depending on how well it meets the criteria. All judges return their scored nominations to the Communications team who collate all nominations within their categories.

The nominations are then passed to an external judging panel who carry out a quality check for all scores and do a final review of all nominations. This determines our finalists for each category.

All nominations are anonymous when they go to the judges to avoid any bias. They see the wording that you have submitted along with any supporting information such as case studies, but will not see the full name, area, region, practice or Support Centre team that they are part of. Nominations are judged on the wording alone.

If you have any questions on the judging process, please contact us at excellenceawards@mydentist.co.uk.
