We've noticed that some companies submit nominations but are unable to attend the event when shortlisted due to budget or travel constraints. We kindly request that you only submit if you can attend the ceremony, as absence creates confusion and takes away opportunities from other deserving companies. If your firm is nominated and shortlisted but doesn't show up, you won't be allowed to enter the next awards.
