BEFORE YOU BEGIN

You don’t need to prepare everything in one sitting.

You don’t need to pay anything upfront to start.

You simply need to begin.

THE PROCESS

Six steps to submitting your entry.

Create your account

Head to the official Awards platform at aestheticbusiness.awardsplatform.com and create your account using your email address. You’ll receive a verification code to activate your profile.

This step takes less than a minute. Once verified you’ll be logged into your personal Awards dashboard.

Choose your category

Inside your dashboard you’ll find all the category information and a clear Start Entry button. Select the category or categories that best reflect your work — each entry is judged independently on its own merit.

Complete your written submission

Answer the questions clearly and honestly, in your own words. Judges are looking for impact, leadership, ethical practice, innovation and evidence of thoughtful decision-making.

You can save your progress at any time and return later. Many entrants work on their submission over several days.

Upload supporting materials

Optionally include supporting materials such as team or clinic photos, marketing examples, or screenshots and documents that support your answers. You’ll also be asked to upload a high-resolution logo, or a headshot if entering as an individual.

All uploads are optional and clearly labelled. Files must be under 20MB — accepted formats are PDF, JPG, PNG and MP4.

Pay only when you’re ready to submit

You can create an account, select your category, complete your answers and upload your materials without making any payment. Payment is required only when you are ready to submit your entry for judging.
