Presentations should complement your written submission, be evidence-based and include an overview of what you do and how you do it, with clear examples of where you have excelled and gone the extra mile. Additional information regarding the date, time slot and expected content will be emailed to each finalist once the schedule has been confirmed – usually a week or so after the official announcement.
