About People's Choice

The People's Choice Award is a great way to raise profile with customers and suppliers, and to get associates, friends and family involved, cheering you on and showing their support. Have a bit of fun along the way!

Here are some answers to commonly asked questions. If you have any others, just let us know.

How do I enter The People's Choice Award?

Just fill in an entry form and select the People's Choice option from the list of categories to enter. 

Who will see my entry?

If you have entered the People's Choice Award, a part of your entry will be visible to anyone voting for you. This will include members of the public and people you may ask or encourage yourself.

What information will a voter be able to see about my business?

We may display your business name, your name, your town or city, a link to your site and the information entered into the About my business and the People's Choice Award category section of your entry to potential voters. 

Can I enter just The People's Choice Award?

Yes, there's no obligation to enter any other category. If you wish, you can enter up to three other categories in addition to the People's Choice Award.

How do I get people to vote for me?

Each entry in The People's Choice category gets its own page. When you submit your completed entry, you are given your own unique link to that page. You can also scroll through the entries on our People's Choice page to find yours and copy the address from your browser's address bar. Once voting starts, there will be a button at the bottom of this page for people to click on to vote for you. The page also has social media sharing buttons to help you promote your entry through various channels and of course, you can share your entry page's URL in your newsletters, email signature, and any other promotional material.

You can (and should!) promote your entry through social media, newsletters, and any other way you want to. The more you promote your entry, the more votes you'll get!

How many times can someone vote?

Everyone records their email address when they vote. This helps minimise the risk of double voting.

Can I vote for myself?

It's a fair guess that most entrants will vote for themselves, so why shouldn't you?

Who wins the People's Choice Award?

The winner is the entry with the most votes. Our Judges are not involved in judging this category.
It is what is says - chosen by "the people". Good luck!
