HOW THE AWARDS WORK
Step One
Nominations
Do you know a business, individual or event in Scotland that deserves recognition, or perhaps a little encouragement to enter the awards?
Nominations are free, quick and anonymous – you nominate, and we take care of the rest!
Entries
Do you want to highlight the efforts and achievements of your business or event?
You don't need to have been nominated to enter the awards. Entries are free and with 18 different categories to choose from, there is something for everyone!
Step Two
Judging
Judging takes place at both a regional level (May/June) and national level (Sept/Oct) with a panel of independent industry experts.
Shortlisting
If you are lucky enough to be shortlisted, you will be invited to join us at the relevant awards ceremony.
Step Three
Regional Awards
If you're a finalist in one of our regional categories, you will be invited to join us at one of our awards ceremonies to find out who will be crowned a regional winner.
National Final
Winners from our regional award ceremonies will progress to our national final, alongside finalists in each of our national-only categories. Here they will compete against the best of the rest of the country to secure the prestigious title of national winner.
