The prestigious Enterprise Vision Awards (EVAS) are officially open. Marking their 13th anniversary, this year is set to be lucky for trailblazing women across the UK.
The awards are the ultimate platform to honour women who are shaping the future of business. From local artisans to global brands, professional services to social enterprises, the EVAS acknowledge the diverse brilliance of women in all types of business.
This year, there are 19 awards to be won, including the highly sought after Inspirational Woman of the Year, Sustainable Business, Scale Up and Customer Services awards.
The public are asked to nominate amazing women to help shine the spotlight on their remarkable achievements. Founder Coral Horn emphasised the transformational power of a nomination. She said, “Your nomination gives the nominee a powerful boost of confidence, it gives them encouragement to shine brighter than ever before!”
Heather Waters, NatWest Regional Enterprise Manager North West said “We are delighted to continue our sponsorship of the EVAS for the eleventh consecutive year. We know that if women started and scaled businesses at the same rate as men, the impact would be £250 billion of new value added to the economy. Women-led businesses are critical to the health of the economy and we are committed to championing the potential of female entrepreneurs. The EVAS are a wonderful opportunity to recognise and celebrate the success of women in enterprise.”
As the UK’s largest business awards dedicated solely to women, the EVAS are the ultimate acknowledgement of female excellence. The awards bring together women from all walks of life, encouraging more women into enterprise, creating strong female role models and inspiring the next generation to aim high.
A series of information events will be held in Manchester, Leeds, and online to give nominees a chance to hear from previous winners, ask burning questions and meet like-minded women and award sponsors.
Entries close on Friday, 24 May, with the finalists announced on Friday 14 June. The winners will be revealed at a dazzling awards ceremony on Friday, 27 September, at The Winter Gardens Blackpool.
