As the summer gets hotter so does the competition for the LincolnshireLive Business Awards.
With the deadline for entries coming round fast, companies throughout the county are being encouraged to join those who have already put themselves in the running.
In association with the Lincoln Chamber of Commerce, LincolnshireLive is running the annual business awards competition and accepting applications until the deadline of August 28th.
Nominations are open in 12 categories, designed to reward outstanding achievements by individuals, teams or whole companies over the past year.
Among the prizes up for grabs are awards for Start-up Business of the Year, SME Business of the Year, and one to recognise the best international businesses in Lincolnshire.
The prestigious LincolnshireLive Business Awards attract the most talented companies in Lincolnshire each year. And each year all of the companies that enter benefit from the many advantages of being involved in the competition.
These include a raised profile within the regional business community, and a chance to show off what you do, for free. It’s a chance to test yourself against your competitors, and find out just how far you’ve come. And it’s a way of motivating and retaining your existing staff, and attracting new talent.
The awards ceremony will take place at a high profile black-tie dinner at the Lincolnshire Showground on Thursday 20th October, where all the winners will be revealed.
Deadline for entries in all categories is 5pm on Sunday 28th August.
