A night dedicated to the best of ELT.

Why Enter?

Why should you participate?

The Best Marketing Tool

OK, word of mouth is the best advertising for your school. The second one is showcasing your work to the entire ELT community in Greece. Pass rates are no longer something to brag about. An award however gives you a cost effective way to promote your school in your community.

Credibility

Educate and attract. An award makes your school stand out from the competition and has the potential to draw new customers and new employees to your business.

publicity

Entering for the ELT Excellence Awards is always excellent news and brings a lot of positive attention and publicity. Even making it on the list of finalists in a category will generate buzz about what you do… and how well you do it. You don’t want to ignore such opportunities because every little bit helps. And because your competition isn’t sitting idly either.

Confidence

Participating in the ELT Excellence Awards is a statement. It shows that you’re confident in your work and that you take enough pride in it to enter a competition knowing you can win.
