*Nominations closed on the 31st March 2022.

Awards are given for individual performance between January 2021 and March 2022.
Awards are given to individuals, and not companies. For example, a plumber or electrician working for a large contractor may enter, but the award entry is in his or her name, and not the name of the company. (A carpenter working for a contractor can be nominated, but a contractor cannot be nominated for hiring great carpenters.)
All nominations must be submitted by 31st March 2022.
