Still time to enter Nottingham awards

If you are a new small business in Nottingham then you could win £3,000 in the fourth annual Spirit of Enterprise Awards, run by PRIME-partner Nottinghamshire Business Venture. There are also several smaller prizes for businesses in particular categories.

Refreshingly you can enter “Young Business of the Year” whatever your age – because it’s the age of the business that counts.  It must have been established after the 1st of April 2005 to qualify, so aged under two-and-a- quarter.

Other categories include ones for woman-owned, creative/fashion and rapid growth businesses – this last is open for enterprises that were established any time after 1st of April 2003 .

All the category winners go on to compete for the £2,500 grand prize and title of Nottingham Enterprise of the Year.

The deadline for entries is 12 noon on Friday 31 August 2007. To be eligible to enter you must be located in Nottingham, employ no more than 10 people and be legal. It’s OK to be a self-employed sole trader – you don’t have to be incorporated as a company or partnership. And you can enter in more than one category.
