WELCOME

Now accepting entries for 2025!


We are delighted to open entries for the Comms Business Awards 2025! Whether you’re a reseller, MSP, dealer, distie, wholesaler, vendor, or professional services company, we hope you’ll find a category that helps you celebrate your successes, partners and the team around you.

Our awards have been running for over two decades, and we take pride in offering the Channel awards that are judged and decided by an expert panel of channel pioneers and industry supporters.

This year we have 15 categories, including two that are not open to general entries and will instead be decided amongst our judges. Those two special categories are: Services to the Channel and One to Watch.

We want to welcome entries from UK channel companies of every size and specialism, so there is no charge for entering the awards. Every shortlisted and winning entry will benefit from benchmarking amongst your peers, company recognition, an introduction to our judging panel, presence on the Comms Business Awards website, on our social media channels, and in our magazine.

The closing date for Comms Business Awards entries is Friday 7 March 2025. Finalists will be notified by mid-April. Our winners will be announced at our awards ceremony that will be held at London’s Royal Lancaster on Thursday 17th July 2025.

We can’t wait to recognise and celebrate excellence across the UK’s channel community. Start your submission today to tell us all about your successes, progress and hard work!

HOW TO ENTER


You can submit your entry online using the online entry system. You will need to register first and then choose the categories you wish to enter. Once you have completed the work on your entries, you can submit them all at once. The online entry system allows you to start an entry, save it, and complete it later.

Deadline for entry - Friday 7th March 2025 (23:55)

Please ensure you are entering the correct category, refer to the entry description if you are unsure. Please ensure you place the main component of your entry within the web-form provided and include all the information requested in each section.

Including supporting material is encouraged but it should not comprise the main component of your entry.

Please ensure you upload a high resolution company logo to accompany your entry.

Your entry will be judged based on the information you submit in the main entry form.

You may submit additional supporting information but this should be to enhance your entry and not replace the content of the entry form itself.

Whilst supporting material is important and helpful to the judges, we ask that you keep these documents to a reasonable number.

The Awards are open to any business which is part of the technology community that has some form of UK presence

Activities during the judging period 1st January - 31st December 2024 are eligible for these awards.

Multiple entries are allowed across the awards where applicable (please read category descriptions)

Sponsors may not enter the category that they are sponsoring

All entries must completed within the entry web form provided

Any access passwords or details required as part of entry judging must be clearly supplied in time for the close of call for entries

We appreciate that some entry information will be sensitive, all business information submitted will be in strict confidence 

The Judges’ decision is FINAL. No discussions on recounts or requests for justification will be entered into

Include tangible evidence of the impact your company, or solution, has had on your customer’s business. Judges are looking for hard metrics, particularly on business performance and growth.

Less is more. Our judges have to read hundreds of entries, be concise and focus on making your entry stand out above the crowd.

Stick to the entry form. Don’t go off-piste when it comes to entering. Supporting documents are just that… ‘support’. Your main entry should demonstrate the bulk of your submission.

Compelling stories make winners. Companies that change businesses for the better or demonstrate innovation are held in high regard. Tell a story which demonstrates why you deserve to win.

Don’t try and fluff it with waffle and marketing speak, our judges have been around the block (and back) and will see straight through ambiguous claims laced with sales talk.

Entries are now open!
