Entry Information
Guidelines
- This is your opportunity to highlight your projects, policies, and guidelines that are making a tangible difference in protecting the environment, supporting empowerment and inclusivity of people, and educating travellers.
- Each category has criteria which should be reviewed and used as a beacon to support your application. Some smaller organisations may not feel they meet all the criteria, but we encourage you to submit your application as many of these projects may be inspirational to others and each application will be judged on its own merit.
- The word count is to help summarise your efforts. Your supporting documentation will be used to further clarify your work.
- Make a video showcasing your project, facility, or team and highlight why you all think you deserve to win this award based on the impact of your project or organization. Whilst we prefer a video, you can provide a PowerPoint recording as an alternative.
- The submission closing date is June 7th 2024. Finalists will be announced by June 28th 2024. The awards will be announced at the Experience Africa event in London on the evening of July 1st 2024.
