  • These are the 2024 awards, so we are looking for activity that relates to business operations since July 2022.

  • Don’t count yourself out – you don’t necessarily have to meet every point, they are there for guidance and inspiration, we will judge entries based on the strength of the information presented to us.  

  • Judges will take into account size, so please don’t be put off if you are a small business.
