Celebrating the county's
businesses and businesspeople

To enter simply head to the Nominate page on The University of Staffordshire Business Awards website. You will need to log your contact details, upload a photo and (if applicable) financial details and complete a supporting statement. The supporting statement can be up to 1,000 words in length and should include information about you and your business. Wherever possible try to include supporting evidence such as financial figures and testimonial statements from key members of staff. Try to be succinct but thorough - you do not need to use all 1,000 words!

You can read testimonials from all of the sponsors on the home page of the website and see their logos on the sponsors page of the website. If you would be interested in becoming a sponsor please contact jennifer.amphlett@staffs.ac.uk for further details.

The awards will be judged by a panel comprising sponsors, University of Staffordshire representatives and key members of the business community. Entrants in some categories may receive visits from judges ahead of the judging day.

The awards ceremony will be staged in The Catalyst Building at The University of Staffordshire. Priority for tickets will be given to shortlisted nominees and event sponsors. A very small number of tickets may be available to purchase but these will be limited and we anticipate demand will be high.

The business awards judges are drawn from varied sectors, will be bringing their own experiences to the judging table and looking for different qualities in entries. Try to be thorough but succinct with your supporting statement. Demonstrate tangible successes and wherever possible provide supporting data.

Due to the high number of entries it is not possible to give written feedback about individual nominations. We would encourage entrants who are unsuccessful to enter again in 2026.

Yes! You can enter as many categories as you wish but a separate application must be submitted for each category.
