The 2008 Scottish Borders Awards aim to showcase the best in the Borders. It is both a celebration of the achievements of businesses, individuals and community groups and an opportunity to showcase how each of these has contributed to the success of the Scottish Borders as a whole.

The New Ways Community Planning Partnership is seeking applications from individuals and organisations of all shapes and sizes that have, over the last twelve months, been successful in their own line of work or activity and have had a positive impact on the Scottish Borders.

The closing date for submission of completed entry forms is Friday 6th June 2008.

The awards will be presented at a glittering ceremony, held on Friday 3rd October 2008, at Springwood Hall. Don’t miss your opportunity to attend this formal dinner, which presents an excellent opportunity to network with your peers over great food and entertainment. A sell-out event last year, tables are selling fast so book online now at a cost of £45.00 per person, or a table of ten for £450.00.
