The nebusiness awards will be contested by the winning companies from The Tees Valley Business Awards, The Durham and Wearside Business Awards and The Tyneside & Northumberland Business Awards. The same entry form and judging criteria will be used for each of the 3 events and the winners of the Regional Final will be based on the original entries. A separate judging panel will determine the Regional winners for the North East.
Companies with a regional presence across the North East can enter an individual award category in any one of the 3 sub-regions. Regional companies should choose the sub-region most appropriate for the entry, e.g. where the Head Office is based. Regionally based companies can still enter up to 3 separate award categories in any of the 3 sub regions, i.e. a maximum of 9.
