The Best of UK Small Business Awards by BASA AwardsⓇ aim to highlight and celebrate the achievements of small businesses across the UK and welcome entries from all small businesses. With an emphasis on outstanding work and exceptional contribution to the community, the Awards will showcase winning entrants with a proven track record of business success.
Entries for the BASA Awards Ⓡ are welcome until 24 August 2024.
Who is Eligible for Entry to the Awards
The Awards is open to all successful small businesses based in the UK. Companies entering the Awards Program are invited to present their business achievements in their applications. Achievements could include an interesting business idea or strategy that was implemented or an extraordinary project that was completed.
The BASA Awards Ⓡ has six tracks and over 150 award categories for entrants to choose from. Categories should be selected based on the nature of the entering business and its achievements.
“Small businesses seldom receive the recognition they deserve despite making up 99% of our economy. We want to change that. We understand what it takes to keep a small business going, and we want them to feel accomplished and proud – but most of all inspired and motivated to continue,” remarked Anna Stella, President of the BASA Awards Ⓡ.
The Awards Judges Panel
The BASA Awards Ⓡ Judges Panel comprises independent industry experts from various backgrounds who are passionate about small business achievements and success. The esteemed BASA judges will evaluate entries based on the awards judging criteria.
The integrity of the judging process is further emphasised by Anna Stella, President of the BASA Awards Ⓡ who states: "Transparent, authentic judging is important to the BASA Awards. It is one of our guiding principles and an attribute that we believe is important to a lot of small businesses. Often, small companies get overshadowed by large corporations who are able to influence the outcome of awards programs - of course, to their benefit. The BASA Awards Ⓡ will not engage in that - here, everything is transparent, there are no strings attached, no hidden agendas, no pre-planned outcomes."
