HOW TO ENTER
It is free and so simple - you just go to the awards page where you wish to put an entry or nomination/recommendation in and then click on the category and that takes you to the entry form. Fill out all the details you are asked for and please remember the entries/nominations are judged on the quality of information not the number a business gets - the more you tell us about how brilliant the business is the more likely they are to be shortlisted
ENTERING
This is for business owners or employees to put forward a business so its one that you own or one you work at (in any capacity)
Give us lots of information and
include links to reviews, websites, social media, testimonials etc.
Please don't put a generic entry into several categories but tailor the entry to fit the category.
Remember to read the guidelines, T's & C's and the tips for writing an entry.
The more you tell us the lore likely you are to win!
NOMINATIONS/
RECOMMENDATIONS
This is for anyone locally to put forward a business that they love and want to recommend as they think it deserves an award.
Again tell us what makes them so very special. Unlike some awards it's not the number of nominations a business gets but what those nominations say that will help our judges form a picture of the business.
​
Judging - all the entries and nominations are marked by our independent panel of judges with their scores giving us our finalists and then the winners. In the event of a tie (or just a point between) then both businesses are winners!
OUR JUDGES
WE HAVE A PANEL OF INDEPENDENT JUDGES IN EACH AREA AND THEY LOOK AT ALL THE ENTRIES/NOMINATIONS AND SCORE THEM - THEIR REPORTS ARE THEN MERGED GVING US OUR FINALISTS AND WINNERS
