They are open to everyone: members and non-members; small and large organisations; public, private and third sector. The Awards recognise the outstanding contribution that good projects and people make to our daily lives.
Nominations are now open for the 2021 CIHT South West Awards and this year we have five categories. Enter by completing the form before 5pm on Friday 5th February 2021.
