Award Categories for 2022
There are plenty of sponsored Award Categories for all businesses to enter, whichever business you’re in, whatever size you are, and whether you have physical premises, or not. Meet our Sponsors and view the 2022 Award Categories below.
Many of the categories require businesses / organisations to have been trading before 1 September 2020. The awards effectively recognise the ‘best’ nominated business in a given category, so it’s important that our judging panel can assess business performance (and improvements in it), as well as progress towards business objectives over a period of time. Businesses that started on or after 1 September 2020 have their own category, New Business, and they’re also welcome to enter Creative Business and Made In Hyndburn too.
NB! Do get in touch via the Contact Page if you would like more information about supporting the 2022 or 2023 awards.
