HALTON businesses, entrepreneurs, charities and social enterprises are invited to enter the E3 business awards.
These accolades are designed to celebrate not only business achievements but also the positive social impacts arising from them.
They seek to promote diversity and to recognise the efforts of entrepreneurs from all parts of society.
They are therefore open to mainstream businesses as well as to entrepreneurs from under-represented communities.
There are 16 categories.
The final takes place at the Macron Stadium in Bolton on Thursday, June 11.
Candidates across the north weset can nominate themselves or they may be nominated by others. Applications canbe submitted at e3businessawards.co.uk.
Information about nominations, sponsorship or attendance can be obtained by calling 1 Events Media on 01254 790 786.
