Of course, there is a whole lot of glory getting your website or app recognised by fellow entrepreneurs, not least being at the receiving end of lots of attention from The GWG and some useful prizes to help boost your online presence. Let's wind back though to the beginning and take you step by step as to why you should enter our Awards.

First and foremost entering an award forces you to put your house in order. Tidy up broken links, sort out the images that aren't formatting correctly, make sure links to social media accounts open in new windows. In other words, see your digital presence through the eyes of a visitor; what would excite them or as quickly, turn them away.

Once this task is complete, all the positive benefits of participating in an awards programme can kick in. Cue The GWG Awards and what lies ahead when you put your digital footprint forward:

• Join the ranks of trailblazers and disruptors, following in the steps of Collagerie, AnyJunk, Sheerluxe, onefinestay, Nutmeg, Trusted Housesitters, Bloom & Wild, Biscuiteers and many other exceptional brands

• Get your work in front of a superb judging panel with unparalleled expertise

• Show your team how much you value their hard work

• Join The GWG family as we're always on the lookout for stories over the next twelve months

• Make headlines and attract widespread exposure when your work is shortlisted or wins an award

• This is the best year yet to enter the Awards with new categories covering all lifestyle interests

• The winners will be announced at a virtual event held in early December, on a date to be confirmed.

• Being a category winner or winning one of the top accolades sets your work apart from your competitors and shows your clients and colleagues that your business has what it takes to succeed

• Put your mark on social networks with the People's Choice when your fans vote for your site/app, giving you the opportunity to build your community, exposing your enterprise to a huge number of voters
