We held our inaugural Awards in October 2022 and it was a much needed event to bring businesses together, celebrate our achievements and shine a spotlight on businesses who have thrived, not just survived.
Calderdale is known for it’s kindness and resilience and we are so proud of how businesses have made the area a great place to live and work and for helping to put Calderdale on the map.
We are looking to celebrate excellence, not popularity. That’s why we suggest that you spend time and effort collating the information to show clear evidence of why the business you nominate should win. The judges are looking for substance and how you meet the category criteria. This is not a popularity competition so you cannot ‘vote’ for a business, you need to carefully compose your nomination.
Nominations closed at 5.00 pm on 19th July 2024.
