Hints and tips

You deserve to be celebrated!

Please don’t be intimidated or think you haven’t done enough to enter. The Learning Disability and Autism Leaders Awards were created to recognise and share what you’re proud of.

Remember, every entrant gets a personalised digital certificate and finalists and winners are invited to the free ceremony.

Contact us to enter in a different way

We accept any type of entry that is best for you.

You can also upload photos, audio, videos and documents to the form instead of writing your answers to the questions.

Don’t miss your chance

The entry form closes promptly on 3 February 2025 at 10am.

This is to make sure our shortlisters and judges have enough time to make their decisions.

Get to know the awards

You’re about to enter a very special award and could be one of the lucky few joining us at the free, exclusive award ceremony.

Look at the ‘About’ and ‘Winners’ pages to see what (and who) makes the awards so special.

Keep your story to the point

You have a better chance of winning if you keep your story to a single theme and the difference you made. This also makes it more accessible for our shortlisters and judges.

We will choose the category to give you the best chance of winning. Visit ‘Award categories’ to find out more.

Include photos, videos and documents

This helps us get to know you better. We love to see the people and creativity behind the entry (these will be kept private under GDPR). This guide can help you reduce those pesky large files.

Don’t limit yourself

So you have more than one story to tell us? Perhaps you know lots of people who deserve the chance?

Brilliant! Everyone gets a certificate and you can make as many entries as you want to.

We also love this because it means we won’t miss out on any of the amazing things you want to tell us about.

Don’t keep it a secret

When we’ve received your entry (or entries, we hope), we will personally send your digital certificate and grant access to the VIP area of the website.

When you get this you will have lots of pictures and messages you can share with everyone.

We would love to see your photos and messages, so please use the hashtag and tag @DimensionsUK.
