Judges wanted for BikeBiz Awards 2024!

The anticipation is continuing to grow for the BikeBiz Awards 2024, in association with Push, ahead of its return as an in-person event later this year – and we need you to help.

Each year the awards aim to celebrate the innovative, inspiring, and exciting people and brands that make the cycling industry so unique.

To assist with deciding the winners, we’re looking to appoint a panel of industry figures to join us in recognising the best of the best in the bike trade.

In 2022, we reintroduced a judging panel process, with 12 people from various corners of the industry, from IBDs, to media and distributors, helping to decide the winners.

The BikeBiz Awards 2024, in association with Push, is now looking for cycling and micromobility professionals and industry leaders who would be interested in being on our new panel of judges, helping to decide who to honour from the very best talent in the UK cycling scene.

The majority of winners will be decided by the panel, with some selected awards still going to a public vote. If you are interested in becoming a judge, please contact our editor Daniel Blackham at daniel.blackham@biz-media.co.uk for more details.

This year’s awards will also be split into five categories: Brands, Distributors, Retailers, Inclusivity and Micromobility.

These categories have been carefully chosen by the BikeBiz team to cover all aspects of the cycling trade and recognise those who are going above and beyond, affecting real change and setting a positive example for the cycling industry.

More details on each award within the categories will be announced shortly.

Judging will be carried out remotely via an online vote, and judges will be asked to share their thoughts on why they chose each winner.

In order to make judging fair, judges will have to abstain from any award category that may relate to their own organisation, to avoid any conflicts of interest – for example, retailer judges will not be permitted to vote in the Retailer category of awards.

This year’s winners will be announced at a special event on Thursday, October 31, held at The Button Factory in Birmingham.

Tickets for the BikeBiz Awards 2024, in association with Push, are also on sale now with early bird tickets only £25 per person.
