Awards Nominations  & Entries

The entries and nominations open on July 18th 2024 and both are free and easy to do online. Entries are for your own business or where you work and nominations are for anyone to nominate a business that they think deserves an award.

​

Why enter?  People are drawn to award winning businesses and trust them, sometimes choosing them over other businesses for having been awarded that title. Winning an award, or being shortlisted, can raise your business profile, and attract new customers plus it boosts team morale. So it's a free and easy promotional opportunity that could pay dividends.

​

Sherborne Business Awards Judges

 

A panel of independent judges assesses the Sherborne Business Awards entries and nominations. The process is done online and the judges cast their votes on a spreadsheet that is then entered onto the master spreadsheet giving us our winners.

​

Their independence from each other means the votes are a true reflection of their views with no outside influence.
