First up is the Brighton and Hove Business Awards, run by the inestimable Midnight. This year marks the 6th year of this contest celebrating the diversity and strength of Brighton businesses; of particular interest to WS members might be the Most Awesome Use of Digital Media category (sponsored by Nixon Mcinnes) plus the Creative Industries Award (sponsored by us!). Deadline is fast-approaching though - Thursday 30th July - so do hurry. More about these and 14 other categories here.
Secondly, I wanted to flag up the NMA Top 100 Interactive Agencies Guide. The guide, which will be published in September, is the definitive ranking of the UK's top interactive marketing, design & build, technical and media agencies. It also includes sections ranking the top agencies outside London, and the ones to watch. Entry is free to agencies; for more info and an application form, email nma.top.100@centaur.co.uk. Closing date is 27 July.
