If 2 or more of the same type of supplier enter, we will create a category for them.
**To enter the New Business Category, you must have started trading within 12 months of the date that registration for the awards opened.
Only individual business’s may enter. A collaboration of business’s is not eligible. If your business has more than one store or outlet, then you may enter them separately. This means that they may be competing with one another in the final. If only one business enters in any particular category, that category will be merged with that of another region. Should there be no entrants in other regions, then that category will be closed and the entrant moved in to wedding services. Should two or more of the same business type enter the wedding services category, a category for that type of supplier will be created.
