Final day to nominate for the BikeBiz Awards 2024 in association with Push

Today is the last chance to get nominations in for the BikeBiz Awards 2024, in association with Push.

Each year, the BikeBiz Awards celebrate the innovative and important work being done across the industry. The 2024 edition will see 15 awards handed out across five categories in the cycling and micromobility sectors

Members of the community have been invited to put themselves in the running for one of the prestigious awards using an online form, while prosumers can also nominate their favourite retailers, brands or individuals in any relevant categories. Enter/nominate here.

Nominations have been streaming in over the last few weeks but will close at midnight tonight, Friday, July 26.

The BikeBiz team will then review each entry and nomination to ensure the necessary criteria is met, in order to then compile a shortlist for each award.

Shortlists will then be announced on Friday, August 2, kickstarting the voting process which will close on Friday, September 13.

This year, voting will be carried out either by our expert judging panel or by a wider vote open to the whole cycling industry, depending on the category.

The winners will be announced at a special event on Thursday, October 31, at The Button Factory in Birmingham.
