Once the first hurdle is jumped, that’s just the start of the journey.
Interviews for all 20 categories will take place at Deepdale with sponsors North End Events opening their hospitality doors on Thursday 14th May.
After that, there’s a short wait for the next part, the BIBAs on Tour when all finalists will be visited at their HQ throughout June for the final decision to be made on who is the best of the best.
Then there’s a summer of waiting until all will be revealed at the grand ceremony at Blackpool Tower Ballroom.
