    The Social Enterprise Awards Scotland 2017, Scotland’s annual awards for achievement in social enterprise are open for entries - with the deadline approaching!

    Social Enterprise Scotland is calling on all social enterprises to step up and demonstrate how they’re helping people or the environment - gaining real recognition for their many achievements.

    Information on categories, eligibility, how to apply and the latest news from this year’s awards programme can be found at: socialenterpriseawards.scot

    Why should I apply?

    • Social entrepreneurs should have their achievements recognised - take a step back, reflect on the progress you're making and benchmark against a set of specific criteria. The awards allow you to appreciate the positive impact of your hard work and be recognised by your peers for your commitment.
       
    • A voice for those you’re helping - The awards are about acknowledging success, innovation and positive social impact, often for the benefit of excluded people in society - and ultimately about giving recognition and a voice to the people you're helping.
       
    • Supporters and new starts can enter too - You don’t have to be a social enterprise to enter - there are categories for supporters and investors too. There’s also an award for those just starting out on their social enterprise journey.
       
    • Free marketing and promotion - essential for all social enterprises. Being shortlisted for, or winning an award, allows you to gain a higher public and media profile - it's excellent free publicity and makes you stand out from the crowd.
       
    • A unique artwork trophy for display - a unique trophy designed by a social enterprise, plus an exclusive "Finalist" or "Winner" logo to use on your website, leaflets, vehicles and offices - adding to your reputation and influence and helping bring in more customers and building key relationships.
       
    • A profile beyond Scotland - The Social Enterprise Awards Scotland are part of an awards programme recognised and promoted across the whole of the UK and beyond - you have the opportunity to compete across the UK too.
       
    • An event celebration for everyone - Whether winning an award, shortlisted or not - you deserve to be celebrated - all applicants are welcome to freely attend the awards ceremony in The Scottish Parliament with friends, colleagues and MSPs - get inspired and apply today! All applications online at: socialenterpriseawards.scot - deadline Monday 10 July.
