New name, fantastic new prizes, and a new chance - to prove that your business is the most dynamic in the region.

That is what we offer as we launch the Evening Press Business Venture of the Year - a forum to prove that success breeds success worthy enough of sharing in prizes worth more than £8,000.

It is a direct successor of our hugely successful annual Small Business of the Year which started eight years ago and it continues to be sponsored by Barclays Bank and backed by the North Yorkshire Training and Enterprise Council. It also remains the biggest competition of its kind in North and East Yorkshire.
