While the BIBAs are known for their rigorous judging and serious celebration of business excellence, there’s always room for a little fun along the way…
That’s where the BIBAs Bend comes in.
Now a firm fan-favourite tradition, the BIBAs Bend adds a light-hearted twist to the journey toward Lancashire’s biggest night in business. Inspired by the elegant curve of our iconic trophy, the challenge is simple (and always good for a laugh):
Stand tall, raise one arm, drop the other, and lean into the bend!
Over the years, we’ve seen some brilliantly creative interpretations — from boardrooms to shop floors, rooftops to rural fields. Judges, teams, and business leaders have all had a go, and last year’s best bends lit up the big screen at the Blackpool Tower Ballroom on awards night, backed by music and plenty of applause.
