Entrepreneur awards

Do you know someone who deserves recognition for helping and inspiring tomorrow's entrepreneurs' The Queen's Award for Enterprise Promotion gives national recognition to outstanding individuals working 'beyond the normal call of duty' to promote the growth of enterprise or entrepreneurial skills and attitudes in others.

Entrepreneurs, business people, teachers and educational professionals are being urged to nominate their mentors or colleagues for this prestigious royal award.

Anyone can put forward nominees for the award, but individuals cannot nominate themselves. Both recipients and their nominators are invited to attend a reception given by the Queen at Buckingham Palace.

The deadline for nominations is 31 October, and the awards will be announced on 21 April, the Queen's Birthday. For more information and a nomination form, visit www.queensawards.org.uk/individual
