Intersec Awards extends deadline for submissions

The Intersec Awards has announced an extension to the deadline for entries in response to increased interest from applicants.

The new deadline is set for August 30, 2024.

The Awards aim to celebrate achievements in the fields of security, fire, and safety across a global audience of industry professionals.

The Awards encompass 15 categories recognising efforts across sectors such as commercial security, cybersecurity, and smart home systems.

Individuals and organisations now have until August 30 to submit their applications for industry-wide recognition.

Submissions are being accepted through an online portal, which allows for updates to entries up until the deadline.

Key dates and entry process

The timeline for the Intersec Awards extends beyond the submission deadline.

Following the August 30 deadline, a shortlist of entries will be announced on October 7, 2024.

Judging will be carried out in two rounds.

The fire and safety categories will be judged both in person and virtually on October 31, while the security categories will follow on November 1.

Winners will be revealed at the Intersec Awards Gala Dinner on January 15, 2025.

Award guidelines for entrants

Applicants are encouraged to read the entry guidelines carefully before submitting.

The Awards outline a clear and concise process to ensure successful submission.

Key points include the necessity to provide supporting evidence such as data or case studies, and avoiding content that resembles product brochures or sales pitches.

Entries must be submitted via the online portal, and applicants are encouraged to emphasise what sets their product or service apart from competitors.

Self-nominations are not allowed within the individual award categories, and duplicate product submissions across multiple categories will be disqualified.

Evaluation process and submission rules

The evaluation process will be thorough, with judges focusing on facts and impact.

Entries should highlight innovation and new approaches within the industry.

Companies are allowed to submit multiple entries across different categories, but the same product cannot be featured in more than one category.

Entrants must ensure that their applications are authorised by their company and must provide valid contact information.
