THE deadline to enter the Bridport Business Awards is next week.

There is still time to enter your business, but you must do it by Monday, March 1.

The awards, now in their second year, were created to recognise the efforts made by businesses in the Bridport area.

The 2021 awards have been adapted to follow restrictions introduced by the coronavirus pandemic, with both the launching ceremony and the awards ceremony being streamed live.

The closing date for entries was originally February 1 before being extended to March.

The online awards ceremony will be held at Tithe Barn on the Symondsbury Estate and will be broadcast live on April 29.

There are 12 categories, open to all local businesses, regardless of size.

Entry is free and businesses can enter as many categories as they want.
