Home Business Awards 2008 open for entries

Home working site, Enterprise Nation, has launched its annual Home Business Awards which includes several new categories this year.

Having had the difficult task of choosing just one winner in 2007, Enterprise Nation has introduced three new categories this year; the Home Office, Home Business Couple and Young Home Business Owner of the Year. All entries will be automatically considered to win the top title ‘Home Business of the Year’ and entrants can check a box to be considered for any, or all, of the new categories.

Entry to the Awards is free and well worth the time as there are some great prizes to be won.

Site founder, Emma Jones, said: “We’re very excited to be launching the 2008 Home Business Awards; the only Awards to recognise people who are starting and growing a business from home. This year we’ve attracted a host of great sponsors and media partners who can offer our winners the tools and opportunity to really get their business noticed. May the competition now begin!”

Alongside Emma, the judging panel includes; Mark Barber (Enterprise Editor, The Times) and Rachel Clacher (co-founder of Moneypenny).

Entry to the competition is free and open to any home business in the UK. The closing date is Friday, August 15th and winners will be announced on Monday, September 1st.
