The Hammersmith and Fulham Brilliant Business Awards are back in 2015, with a chance for everyone in the borough to vote for their favourite local firms.

Residents, shoppers and workers can join in the Publlic Vote, while businesses can nominate themselves for the Judges' Prizes.

The Public Vote consists of three simple categories - Best Business in Fulham, Hammersmith and Shepherd's Bush.

Simply nominate your favourite here before the closing date, November 12 and your name will automatically be entered into a Prize Draw to win a range of goodies, vouchers and offers donated by local businesses.

The top five businesses in each category with the highest nominations will be shortlisted and invited to the Awards Ceremony on Thursday November 19, where the winners will be announced.

The winners in each category will be the businesses with the most nominations.

Businesses can enter the Judges' Prize categories directly without the need for public nomination.

The award categories are:

Best Customer Service
Best New Business (under 18 months)
Best Restaurant
Best Café
Best Independent Retailer
Best Creative Business
Best Small Business (employing ten people or less)
Best Local Employer
Best Training and Development Provider
Best Export Business
Best Social Enterprise or Charity
Best Technology Business

And you can enter up to two categories to increase your chances of winning!

For more information about entering, read the guidance notes and for more information about the categories and what the judges are looking for, visit how to enter, where you can also download an entry form.

Closing date for entries is November 1, and all shortlisted businesses will be invited to attend the Awards Ceremony on Thursday 19 November where the winners will be announced.

Last year’s event saw hundreds of businesses enter, and around 400 people gather at the Town Hall to celebrate the winners. You can see a list of last year's winners here and see a gallery of photos from the 2014 awards here.
