The E-Commerce Awards is the only government backed scheme dedicated to rewarding and promoting e-commerce amongst SME’s and the UK voluntary and community sector. Sponsored nationally by Royal Bank of Scotland, Cisco Systems, the Sunday Times Enterprise Network and the Home Office’s Active Community Unit. The awards recognise and reward organisations that demonstrate excellence through the use of the Internet and information and communications technologies. The Awards encourage best practise and provide case studies of the benefits; and encourage the uptake of these technologies by small to medium enterprises.
The competition began in 11 regions. The total regional prize pool is £180,000 and the winners of these regional heats win cash prizes, trophies and certificates. Over 50 cash prizes worth over £180,000 in total are up for grabs, as well as regional and national media coverage.
