Awards bring rewards

The entry time for the Electra Business & Innovation Awards has been extended to midnight Monday July 20. “The extension has been granted with a unanimous vote by both the board and the judges in direct response to Covid -19 and the unprecedented pressure that this has exerted on businesses,” programme manager Charlotte Tollervey said.

“There is actually now sufficient time for any businesses that have yet to begin their entry to consider if this is the year for them to enter.

“We have stripped back so many things this year to meet businesses where they are, including: cutting entry prices in half, simplifying the questions, moving the entry process online, streamlining the judging process and revising the categories.

“This is a great year to enter and to top it all off we even have 30 minute coaching sessions with Heather Hutchings from Unleash your

Business to support you with your entry.

“It’s an awesome opportunity to celebrate the successes of 2020, take stock and turn our focus to the future.

“There is now plenty of time to complete your application or even to start it, so make this the year and get typing.”

Go to www.bkh.org.nz or reach out to the 2020 Programme Managers on entries@bkh.org.nz for further support.

If you have already started your entry and just need a little extra support with your entry form, there are still a few spaces left for the complimentary 30 minute entrant coaching opportunity.
