Format for the Local Government, City and County Council Awards
There are 23 categories eligible for the LAMA Awards. Each County Council and City Council has one nomination per category.
You will be notified if your company has been nominated for an award. You will then be required to complete your entry online in order to keep your nomination. Criteria for each category are clearly laid out. Deadline for entry is the 23rd November.
An eminent panel of judges using defined criteria will have the difficult task of deciding on a shortlist. The winner will be announced at the gala dinner in January 2008.
All winners will be presented with a beautiful, bespoke, engraved, crystal trophy and will also have a photo opportunity with one of the VIP Presenters, as well as being issued with a press release for PR purposes. The Awards will also be televised by City Channel.
Winners will also receive the LAMA Awards logo for use on their website and for all printed matter.
