OXBA Announces Entry Deadline Extension

You now have an additional week to enter the 2024 Oxfordshire Business Awards as the deadline has been extended to 12pm on Monday 18 March.

We have pushed back our final entry deadline by one week" said Paul Lowe, Chairman at the Oxfordshire Business Awards. “We have received so many impressive entries and nominations to date but we want to ensure that Oxfordshire businesses don’t miss the chance to showcase their achievements, so we've given them a little more time to finalise their entries.”

The entry process is straight forward – simply click on the 'Enter now' link and start your entry submission in up to two business award categories and one individual award category. Entries can be saved and revisited at any time before making the final submission by the new deadline.

With 13 free-to-enter Award categories including Technology Excellence, New Business, SME of the Year, Large Business, Property Developer of the Year, Innovation, Emerging Tech Business, Charity & Community, Employer of the Year, Purposeful Business, Green, Young Business Person and Business Person, there is a category suitable for every Oxfordshire-based business. All our finalists will be entered into the Business of the Year Award.

Judging visits will take place between the months of March and April with finalists in each Award category being decided upon at the Judging Meeting on Thursday 25 April . The Celebration of Oxfordshire Business Awards Dinner will take place on Friday 7 June and attracts over 450 guests - OXBA finalists, judges and sponsors along with our OXBA supporters but due to demand, tickets are not placed on general sale.
