Just being nominated for an award has merit and a ROI all its own. Competition at its core is about experiencing and developing your skills, Competition drives us to work harder and smarter. Without it, you’re a monopoly. Network at the awards ceremony and develop new relationships with others so you can leverage their knowledge, market and expertise. Failing means you were in it to win it. You tried. Not failing usually means you didn't even try. So, when your competitor gets up to take the trophy, smile, clap and quietly resolve to beat her next year.
