Each entry will be considered independently and impartially by our panel of judges whose task it is to narrow the applications to three finalists in each category. To make their task easier please ensure that you answer all the questions on the application form using relevant evidence and examples which support the points you are making. You may also include additional supporting documents with the form.

If you are a finalist you will be notified by 26th January 2010, at which point the judges will arrange a visit to your business in order to select the winner.  Finalists are required to attend the Awards Ceremony on 23rd April 2010. WOW Effect will automatically reserve 6 tickets for each finalist company.  Tickets cost £90 +VAT per person.
