Entering the Wave Awards necessitates not only a passion for cruise-related achievements but also a strategic approach in how one presents such accomplishments. Evaluating and selecting the most pertinent category is vital, as this a priori decision shapes the narrative and focus of your entry. The awards encompass 31 categories, with some newly introduced, providing diverse avenues to showcase varying aspects of cruise excellence. It is imperative to read and understand the entry criteria thoroughly to ensure your submission aligns with the specific requirements of the chosen category.
A critical component of a compelling awards entry lies in its ability to present measurable outcomes and tangible evidence of achievements. Whether it is an innovative approach to onboard services or a significant uptick in passenger bookings due to specific strategies, substantiating claims with data is invaluable. Judges are more likely to be swayed by entries that can clearly quantify their success stories.
The power of narrative cannot be overstated when crafting an awards entry. Painting a comprehensive picture through storytelling can transform the perception of your achievements from mundane to inspiring. A well-crafted story should illustrate the journey and impact of your initiatives, such as an individual’s professional growth within the company or strides made towards sustainability.
Visual elements serve as potent tools to augment the written narrative of an entry. Utilising the option to upload images or videos can complement the text and provide judges with a more holistic view of the accomplishments being claimed. This multidimensional approach can help solidify the emotional and factual narrative, making the entry stand out.
Involving the right team members early in the process can significantly enhance the entry’s completeness and polish. Collaborating with those who possess relevant information and a flair for writing can ensure that the submission is both informative and engaging. Internal peer review can provide fresh insights and help catch potential oversights before final submission.
This year’s Wave Awards also recognise the importance of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI). Entrants have the opportunity to nominate a DEI Champion, celebrating individuals committed to fostering an inclusive cruise industry. This recognition underscores the growing focus on social responsibility within the sector and adds another meaningful layer to the awards.
A well-prepared and thoroughly considered entry will significantly enhance your chances of success at the Wave Awards.
