Big Chip Awards seek Kirklees entrants

Jan 26 2010 by Henryk Zientek, Huddersfield Daily Examiner

FIRMS across Kirklees are urged to enter a competition recognising the best use of digital technology.

Organisers of the Big Chip Awards are calling for more entries from Yorkshire firms following its most successful year ever in 2009.

Last year’s competition attracted a record 234 entries – and 2010’s award ceremony looks to be the biggest and best to date.

The awards include a North of England Award, a new Little Chip Award for exceptional student achievement and a Big Green Chip Award.

Categories will be judged by a panel of leading industry figures chaired by Michael Nutley, editor-in-chief of New Media Age.

The awards, organised by Manchester Digital, are open to digital companies, creative agencies and any organisation or business which has undertaken digital initiatives in the past year.

Entries should be submitted online at www.bigchip awards.com. The closing date for entries is Monday, March 1.
