Hard-working judges
All of these lucky nominees are currently with our lovely judges, who are working hard to whittle them down to a top four in each category. Those lucky four will then be put to the public vote when Round 2 opens on 12th February.
Join us
Whether you’re nominated, shortlisted or just love the bloggers – you can join us for the Awards Ceremony on 17th May at the Windmill Village Golf Club & Spa in Coventry. We have the lovely Gethin Jones as our host, one for the ladies, but don’t let that put you off men, we want you there too.
Tickets only cost £50 and that includes :
- Entry to the BAPS Awards.
- Drinks Reception.
- A Chance to Meet Gethin.
- Awards Ceremony.
- Three-Course Meal.
- Post-Awards Entertainment.
Free conference entry too
Your ticket even gains you entry to The Transition Event Midlands which is held earlier in the day at the Ricoh Arena, just up the road. The Transition Event is a full conference and exhibition for parents, carers and professions supporting young people through transition. Speakers cover all the major topics from education, health and care plans to benefits, education to employment, housing and more.
We’re even running some blogging workshops there. So, if you want to dust up on the skills, have a chat with other bloggers and how they approach things and look at how to make the most of your blog, come along to the Transition Event, before heading onto the Awards where you can dance the night away.
Check out the fun!
We had so much fun last year, take a look!
