How it works 

Entries and nominations 

Members of the cycling trade community will be invited to put themselves in the running for one of our prestigious awards using an online form. Individuals can also nominate their favourite retailers, brands or individuals in any relevant categories.

Entries and nominations will be open from 2 June until midnight on 4 July.

The BikeBiz team will review every entry and nomination to ensure the necessary criteria are met to compile a shortlist for each award.

Voting

Voting will be carried out by our expert judging panel or by a wider vote open to the whole cycling industry, depending on the category (see below for the full list of awards and the voting procedure in each). Most awards will be decided by our judging panel, who offer years of combined experience in the cycling industry to select the winners.

Our judges come from a broad range of backgrounds in the industry. To make judging fair, judges will have to abstain from any award category that may relate to their organisation, to avoid any conflicts of interest – for example, retailer judges will not be permitted to vote in the retailer category of awards.

Judges will vote using an online form, selecting their preferred winner and offering up a reason for their selection. In other categories, voting will be open to the wider cycling trade through an online voting form.

Shortlists will be announced and voting will be open from Friday, 18 July, until midnight on Friday, 29 August. After the closure, the BikeBiz team will collate all the results.
