Our judges take all the winning entries in the categories shared by those awards and score them again giving us our regional North Dorset winners.

How do I enter the North Dorset Gold Business Awards?
The answer is you can't
They are the judges choice
To be in with a chance you have to enter the next Shaftesbury, Gillingham or Sturminster Business Awards. If you win a category then you are automatically entered into the North Dorset Gold Business Awards the following year.
These special regional awards are judged by a group of independent judges. The process is entirely online and the judges do not know who the other judges are. They receive a brief and a copy of the winning entries from the Shaftesbury, Gillingham and Sturminster awards. They vote in each category for their first choice, second and so on. They return the spreadsheet which is fed into the master sheet which tells us who are the winners.
