Please note that the winners from the first 13 of the above categories will have the chance to be put forward for national judging by VisitEngland for the VisitEngland Awards for Excellence.

Before applying we recommend that you take some time to carefully read through the criteria, making sure that you’re applying for the right categories and are happy with the terms and conditions; if your business is shortlisted you will, depending on the category, receive an unannounced visit as part of the judging process. By applying you’re agreeing to either reimburse or waive the cost of the visit.

The links above are to the practice forms which can be completed prior to a formal submission via the online portal. This will allow you to check you’re happy with your application/s and ensure you have provided all evidence requested.  Once you’re happy, upload your application by clicking here and creating an account.  You can work on your application in stages as it allows you to save and return to draft submissions, but once submitted you are unable to amend.

Please note, we won’t be accepting email or postal submissions. All entries must be submitted online via the awards submission portal.
