Shortlist...

You will be notified whether you have made it to the shortlist in June for Ashford & Canterbury and November for Maidstone & Tunbridge Wells.

If you have been shortlisted the judges will arrange a zoom call with you.

Shortlisted companies will then be invited to a filming session (beginning of June for Ashford & Canterbury Awards and beginning of November for Maidstone & Tunbridge Wells Awards) to record a short clip for the Gala Awards Dinner.

Awards dinners, on 4 December at the Mercure Maidstone Great Danes Hotel for Maidstone & Tunbridge Wells.

And in June 2025 at the Ashford International Hotel for Ashford & Canterbury.

The winners will be announced from each category and for each area at the end of the evening an overall Kent winner for each category will be announced from each of the four areas.

Good luck - we hope to see you there!
