How it works
Entries and nominations
Members of the cycling trade community are invited to nominate themselves for one of our prestigious awards using an online form. Individuals can also nominate their favourite retailers, brands or individuals in any relevant categories.
Entries and nominations will be open from 1 June until midnight on 3 July.
The BikeBiz team will review every entry and nomination to ensure the necessary criteria are met to compile a shortlist for each award.
Voting
Voting will be carried out by our expert judging panel or by a wider vote open to the entire cycling industry, depending on the category. Most awards will be decided by our judging panel, who offer years of combined experience in the cycling industry to select the winners.
Our judges come from a broad range of backgrounds in the industry. To ensure fair judging, judges must abstain from any award category relating to their organisation to avoid conflicts of interest; for example, retailer judges will not be permitted to vote in the retailer category of awards.
Judges will vote via an online form, selecting their preferred winner and providing a reason for their choice. In other categories, voting will be open to the wider cycling trade through an online voting form.
Shortlists will be announced, and voting will be open from 17 July until midnight on Friday, 28 August. After the closure, the BikeBiz team will collate all the results.
