****As the final entry deadline for The 2012 [International Business Awards](http://www.stevieawards.com/iba/default.cfm?), the world's premier [business awards](http://www.stevieawards.com/pubs/iba/awards/171_695_3021.cfm) competition, approaches on 27 June, we wanted to provide you with several tips for submitting winning [HR awards](http://www.stevieawards.com/pubs/iba/awards/408_2214_20882.cfm) entries. (If you haven't yet done so, you can [request your entry kit here](http://www.stevieawards.com/pubs/iba/general/173_704_3149.cfm).)

To make the most out of your [HR award](http://www.stevieawards.com/pubs/iba/awards/408_2214_20882.cfm) entries, we suggest the following four tips:

**1. Review the[ business awards](http://www.stevieawards.com/pubs/iba/awards/171_695_3021.cfm) categories. **![The Stevie Awards](https://blog.stevieawards.com/hs-fs/file-13813490-gif/images/the_stevie_awards_logo.gif)  
 There are three award categories that are specifically labeled as [human resource awards](http://www.stevieawards.com/pubs/iba/awards/408_2214_20882.cfm):

- [Human Resources Department of the Year](http://www.stevieawards.com/pubs/iba/awards/408_2214_20882.cfm)

- [Human Resources Executive of the Year](http://www.stevieawards.com/pubs/iba/awards/408_2214_20882.cfm)

**2. Review the entry submission criteria. ****  
**Information to be submitted online for these categories include:

- An essay of up to 500 words describing the nominee's accomplishments since January 1 2011
- A biography of the nominee or the leader of the nominated department or team of up to 100 words
