These awards are aimed at recognising the talent, entrepreneurship and excellence that exists across the full range of business and commerce in the area, paying homage to the long history of individual and collective industry upon which local towns have taken root and flourished and the companies which carry on that tradition today.

The thirteen award categories cover all aspects of business and industry, giving the opportunity to enter a maximum of two categories, and the judging process will be carried out by an independent judging panel.

Anyone can submit an entry regardless of whether they are an owner, an employee or a satisfied customer, and live or work in the greater Larne area.

Entries close on Friday 14th October.
