Nominations for the 2026 awards are now closed.
Nominations for the Lifetime Achievement Award can be submitted on this on this page. For your chosen nominee to be considered for the 2027 awards the closing date is 30th June 2027.
If you or your company are interested in getting involved, contact us and we’ll be in touch to answer any questions.
All finalists will be invited to ‘finalist drinks’, a networking opportunity where the partners and lifetime achievement award winners all come together.
We’ll announce the finalists on social media and in our press release to showcase the shortlist. They’ll also receive an unforgettable VIP experience on the awards night itself.
After the ceremony, winners will be invited to a ‘winner’s lunch’, held the following January. This will include all stakeholders, partners, sponsors and lifetime achievement award winners.
Following that, there will be quarterly check-ins – in March, June and September – to follow up and continue to support the award winners and nurture their business.
Winners will be invited to share their business objectives for the year, and to highlight where they may need support, which could include advice and guidance, professional services or a financial contribution.
Our intention is to assist where possible, utilising the skills and knowledge from the local community to drive these organisations forward and to help them grow.
The new-look Hull & East Yorkshire Business Awards are judged on more than the quality of a written submission. This ensures truly deserving people and businesses are recognised for their achievements.
This is the new, improved and more comprehensive process.
Once the nomination window closes, there will be an initial shortlisting based on the information collected in the nomination process.
Every category will be judged by a different panel, each with a mix of partners, business leaders, lifetime achievement winners and sector experts.
The judging process will be supplemented by visits to the nominated people and businesses to ensure a rigorous process.
The shortlisted nominees will be invited to the Hull & East Yorkshire Business Awards ceremony, when the winners will be announced!
