You can still enter in the usual way, by completing the application form for the relevant categories. But this year, we are also encouraging you to nominate in any of the categories where you think a business or individual has excelled.
And, please note, whether you are entering yourself or nominating someone else, our awards team can help complete the application. So, there is no reason not to enter or nominate!

- You can nominate HERE, or by contacting Robyn.smitherman@markallengroup.com with your nominatiom and a few key details.
This year’s event will, once again, see 15 National Pig Awards handed out at a gala ceremony in London, in November, showcasing the fabulous, often unheralded, work so many businesses and individuals do right across the industry.
Head judge Stewart Houston said: “If you are still wavering, I really urge you to give a go – you still have time!
“Over the years, winning, or even just being a finalist, has given so many talented individuals and ambitious businesses the boost and leg-up they deserve. Winning can also help you become an ambassador for our great industry, helping to further improve standards, for others to follow.
“And don’t forget, all finalists receive two free tickets to the big night!”
