The deadline to get entries in for the 2024 National Pigs Awards has been extended by two weeks.
This year’s event will 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 on a daily basis right across the industry.
The new closing date for entries is now Friday, July 12, giving people who were undecided more time to get their entries in. If you are unsure about the entry process, the pig awards team can provide support in putting the submission together.
Head judge Stewart Houston said: “If you are still wavering, I really urge you to give a go – you still have time!
“We have had so many fantastic entries over the years – and 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!”
