What are the Media Pioneer Awards?

The Specialist Media Pioneer Awards recognise innovation and entrepreneurial thinking by media owners in these challenging times.

It's free to enter: no complex forms, just contact us to nominate your specialist media business. We'll discuss your story with you and if we consider you have been innovative and can demonstrate success then you will be shortlisted for the 2012 awards

Shortlisted businesses are featured on this site in the Media Pioneers section and through our media partner InPublishing. We'll send you a logo to add to your own website. Shortlisted Media Pioneers go through to judging in May, will be included in a display at the show and the winners are announced on the day.
