With the Global Generics & Biosimilars Awards 2025 returning to Germany in its twelfth year – for an awards ceremony that will recognize the most outstanding achievements across the generics, biosimilars and value added medicines industries – entrants are already working on their submissions.
Every year, we receive enquiries from entrants asking how to make the most of their entries and stand out from the crowd in what is always a competitive field.
The five key tips below are designed to help companies entering the Global Generics & Biosimilars Awards 2025 to enhance their submissions and capture the attention of our judges.
- Be clear about your achievements: spell out upfront exactly why you think you should win the award, and what your achievement entails. Don’t be modest about highlighting successes!
- Tailor your entries to each category: while we always welcome entries from companies across multiple categories, it is always helpful to consider exactly why your achievement deserves to win in each specific category. Making sure that each specific entry is tailored to the category in question will ensure that the achievements are relevant for that particular prize.
- Be clear and concise: although we encourage entrants to give a full account of their achievements, the longest entries are not always the most successful! Being able to boil down your entry to the essential elements is important to capture the attention of judges who will be considering several entries in each category. Don’t be afraid of being bold and direct, and using plain language to be clear on exactly why you think you deserve to win. And if you want our judges to consider further resources, feel free to provide hyperlinks to additional content within the entry.
- Provide evidence of success: providing tangible evidence to demonstrate why your achievements were meaningful is a key element of each entry. Whether these details are financial or based on other metrics or feedback, it is always helpful to be able to provide a clear sense of the value of your achievements – both within and outside of your company.
- Stand out from the competition: in each category, entrants will be competing against multiple rivals, so it is important to ensure that your entry is something special that stands out against the rest of the pack. Aspects that are groundbreaking or have wider market relevance are a great way to show that you are an industry leader!
