Top tips for a winning entry
It takes around 10 to 15 minutes to complete your application.
To give yourself the best chance:
Tell your story. Share what inspired your business, the challenges you've overcome and what makes your journey unique.
Show your impact. Include achievements, growth figures and milestones wherever possible.
Add a short video. A simple introduction (up to three minutes) helps bring your story to life. It doesn't need to be professionally produced.
Prepare your answers first. The application form can't be saved part-way through, so we recommend drafting your responses in a separate document before submitting.

Applications now close at 11:59pm BST on Friday 17 July 2026.
This extension is your final opportunity to enter. Once applications close, our judging panel will begin selecting this year's finalists.
If you've been thinking about entering, don't wait any longer. Share your story, celebrate your achievements and put your business in the running for £10,000 and national recognition.
Apply now and show us what makes your business extraordinary.
Good luck,
The eBay Team
