Strong businesses build strong communities.
The EADT Business Awards highlight the innovators, employers, and leaders who make our region thrive. Join us in celebrating the achievements that shape our future.
The Eastern Daily Press Business Awards are held every year to join together Norfolk’s business community for a unique black tie evening, to celebrate the achievements, individuals and significant milestones that mark a company’s journey.
They connect like-minded professionals, provide a unique environment for networking and help raise your company’s brand profile through increased coverage across media platforms. Whether it’s a fresh start-up or long-standing enterprise we love cheering on the exciting businesses that call Norfolk home. This celebration recognises the passion, innovation, and outstanding achievements that make our local business community exceptional. Over the years, we’ve witnessed remarkable growth, resilience, and creativity, and it’s an honour to celebrate these qualities.
Events like this highlight the vibrancy and importance of Norfolk’s business landscape, full of talented individuals and organisations driving positive change and success. It’s a privilege to come together and recognise those shaping the future of our region.
The awards opened for entries on Wednesday 6th May. We had 10 categories open for entry, of which we accepted entries up until midnight on Sunday 12 July. Judging took place involving round one based on business submissions, then round two organised meetings enabling two judges per category to further judge against the set category criteria.
Finalists will be announced publicly on Wednesday 21 October 2026.
The glittering awards event will take place on Thursday 26th November 2026, at the stunning Norfolk Showground Arena, Norwich, with celebrity host Lou Sanders.
