Emerging Payments Awards entries now extended to May 16!


Good news for those many people asking if we can extend the deadline: you can now submit your entries until May 16 at midday.  But remember that we can’t extend after that, as we’ll then be sending the entries out to the judges.

So if you haven’t already done so, decide which of the categories below are applicable to you, download the Call for Entries brochure at Emerging Payments Awards, read the entry criteria in the brochure and get writing.  You can write an award-winning entry in a couple of hours if you have all the information to hand, so it’s not onerous.  And you can enter as many categories as you like via Enter.   

If you’re struggling with your entry or don’t know what to write, read the How to write a winning entry page in on the site.

Finalists will be announced in July, with winners being revealed and celebrated on 23 October 2014 during our customary lavish ceremony at the Lancaster London.

And good luck.
