Entering this programme

Confirm every date on the organiser's own page before you rely on it. Programmes move deadlines and rewrite their criteria, sometimes without announcing it.

If you are entering VIC Awards for Planning Excellence, the work that decides the result happens before the writing does: choosing which project the evidence will actually carry, and finding the facts already sitting in your files. That is what Probative does.
