What are BID Awards?
Business Improvement Districts are defined areas where local businesses come together to fund and deliver projects that improve their trading environment. Funded by a levy, BIDs focus on services like marketing, events, safety, and public realm improvements — going beyond what local authorities provide to boost footfall, attract investment, and enhance the area for everyone.
The National BID Awards feature 9 carefully selected categories, each judged by up to four members of our expert panel. If you want your BID’s achievements to be recognised and celebrated on a national stage, this is your opportunity to shine. The highlight of the awards is the Grand Celebration — a prestigious Dress to Impress day time event bringing together BIDs from across the country to honour excellence and impact.
