Time is running out!

With the SLR Awards returning to their traditional slot in June, there is not long to go until the entry deadline.

The return of the SLR Awards to their traditional summer slot in June this year means an earlier awards entry deadline – and time is beginning to run out if you want to be part of this fantastic celebration of our sector and have the chance of being among the winners this year.

The official entry deadline is 21 February so it’s time to start planning those entries, if you haven’t done so already!

“We’re delighted to be bringing the SLR Awards home and returning them to their traditional slot in June,” said SLR Publisher Antony Begley.

“We know that the June slot worked better for everyone, and we have been overwhelmed by the positive response we’ve had from across the entire industry on our decision to return to June.

“Our sponsors have been fantastic, and we’re delighted to welcome back so many of our regular partners as well as bringing on some new sponsors for this year. The earlier slot also means we don’t clash with so many other industry events which in turn means retailers have some mental space to focus on their entries and make sure they given themselves the best possible chance of being among the winners and joining us on what I’m sure will be a fantastic night on 19 June.

“Everyone at SLR is excited and looking forward to another great event and another fantastic celebration of this amazing industry. I would ask all retailers to get cracking on their entries and get them with us by 21 February.”

As always, the SLR Awards will deliver a unique judging model where Publisher Antony Begley visits every single store in the shortlist, delivering a level of judging consistency that means all stores are judged fairly and transparently.

Awards judging visits will again be unannounced to ensure the judging team see your stores exactly the way your customers do.

Best of luck – and see you in June!
