Welcome to the BID Website
VOTING IS NOW OPEN FOR THE INVERNESS CITY CENTRE BUSINESS AWARDS 2019 -
YOUR CHANCE TO NOMINATE YOUR FAVOURITE BUSINESSES FOR AN AWARD!
The search is on to recognise those businesses that are going the extra mile to make the city centre the place to be for everyone living, working and visiting the area.
Spearheading an enterprising initiative to celebrate our traders is Inverness Business Improvement District (BID) with its Annual Awards in conjunction with the Inverness Courier. The Inverness City Centre Business Awards is designed to recognise businesses for their tireless efforts - that may sometimes go unrewarded.
Put forward the businesses that you want to be included in the voting process by following the link to the SurveyMonkey Nomination Form HERE before Friday 22nd February.
PLEASE NOTE: ONLY businesses in the Inverness BID area* will be eligible to be put forward for an award. The nominations will be considered by a panel of City Centre business experts. Unfortunately due to the volume of businesses in the BID area not all those businesses which are nominated will make it on to the finalist shortlist on which the public will vote.
WHAT HAPPENS NEXT: The Nominations will be considered by a panel of city centre business experts and the finalists for each section will then be announced. The public will then be given the opportunity to VOTE for who they want to win. Voting Forms will be available through the Inverness Courier and online via SurveyMonkey.
The winner of each category will be announced in the Inverness Courier and the awards will be presented at the Inverness City Centre Business Awards which is set to be staged in Inverness Town House on Tuesday 2nd April 2019.
