And speaking of categories…

With 20 categories to choose from, Lancashire businesses of every size and sector have the opportunity to apply for the BIBAs.

But don’t limit yourself to one category – if you think you can fit into two (or more) categories then go for it.

In 2025, the BIBAs saw an incredible THREE double winner so there’s always the chance your business can walk away with more than one iconic statue!

Be sure to check out the criteria of the categories as well. For instance, if you’re a two-man band, best not apply for Medium Business of the Year, opt for Micro Business; if you see yourself as a great employer, why not go for that and Leadership Team of the Year?

You can view all the categories and last year’s winners – here
