THIS month sees the deadline to enter the 3Ds category of the Bolton and Bury Business Awards competition.

£31,000 in prize money is available in 12 different award categories - including the £1,000 up for grabs specially for a business from Deane, Derby or Daubhill.

Judges will be looking for businesses which can demonstrate initiative, resourcefulness, planning and success.

The 3Ds Business Award is sponsored by the 3Ds Partnership in association with the 3Ds Business Development Forum.

Paula Kelly from the 3Ds Partnership Team said: "This is a great opportunity for the 3Ds business to receive some recognition. We would encourage as many people as possible to enter."
