Make sure you give the judge the information that will help them decide why you are nominating for this category specifically. You don't have much space so be concise and precise...!

Remember that the awards are meant to celebrate achievement and innovation in the Telematics market so focus your nomination on differentiating your product and explaining clearly why it deserves the awards.
