THE Broker News Awards 2024 open for entry next week. The entry window will be open for two weeks and, just like 2023, there will be no deadline extensions. As a reminder, the awards are open to all BVRLA-accredited brokers and are judged by an independent panel.
How do I enter?
Entry is quick and easy via our online form. We’ve improved the design and process from last year and you can save your entry and complete it later if needed.
So, what do I need to do this week? Here's our top tips
- Work out which categories you want to enter:
There are 11 awards open to entry and brokers can enter a maximum of two categories, as well as nominating a rising star:

- Why should you / your nominee win this award?
- What makes you / your nominee stand out from the competition?
