5 Who can enter?
Entry is open to all member organisations of Crime and Disorder Reduction Partnerships in England and Community Safety Partnerships in Wales.
In addition UK Police Forces in Scotland, Northern Ireland and Special Police Forces e.g. British Transport Police, Ministry of Defence Police etc are also eligible to enter projects to the main award. Please note that projects from these police forces will not be eligible for the regional awards as they are not covered by a Government Office area or the Welsh Assembly Government.
Some police forces hold their own internal force level competitions for problem orientated projects from which the best entries are then submitted to the Tilley Awards. Police officers considering submitting an application to the Tilley Awards should check with their Chief Superintendent before entering the national awards.
There are no restrictions on the number of applications that can be submitted by individual agencies or organisations.
All entries must be endorsed by a senior representative from one of the organisations involved in the project. This may be a Chief Superintendent for example in a police force or Chief Executive Officer in a partnership organisation. Entries that are not endorsed will be returned to the entrant. Letters of endorsement will not count against word or document size limits but if the attachment takes the whole application form over 1MB the letter of endorsement should be sent separately as the Home Office Email system will block any emails over the 1MB limit.
The project author must ensure that all of the other agencies involved in the project delivery are informed prior to submitting the project to the Tilley competition. The endorsing representative should verify that this information has been exchanged. This is to prevent duplicate entries of the same initiative being submitted from different partners.

6 What can an entry be about?
Projects should describe the work undertaken to reduce specific crime and disorder problems that reflect the benefits of a multi-agency approach. To comply with the problem-oriented approach they should address repeat problems and/or issues that are of key concern to local communities demonstrating a sustainable and evaluated response.
The 2007 entries which reached the short list examined issues such as anti-social behaviour, the fear of crime and using multi-agency working to tackle geographical crime hotspots. Over the years short listed entries have addressed a wide range of issues including begging, glass related injuries, criminal damage, ID parades, vehicle crime, the reduction of motor bike casualties, burglary, anti-social behaviour, robbery, domestic violence, young runaways, street drinking, drug and alcohol rehabilitation etc. Many more have drilled down to a specific geographical hot spot location and targeted more than one crime type.
The judging panel welcomes innovative projects which seek to use creative and varied responses.
