This year, there are 6 Scotland Awards categories, with the Scottish winners of the Social Enterprise of the Year and One to Watch categories automatically being shortlisted for the UK-wide awards.

Additionally, a new category has been introduced: Category 10 “Tech for Good”, in recognition of the fact that many social enterprises in Scotland are utilising technology and digital innovation to design new services, reach new markets and audiences and measure impact.

Scottish social enterprises can be nominated for the following categories:

Category 1 – UK Social Enterprise (Scotland)
Category 2 – One to Watch (Scotland)
Category 3 – Prove It: Social Impact (Scotland)
Category 4 – ‘Buy Social’ – Market Builder (Scotland)
Category 10 – Tech for Good: Technology in Social Enterprise (Scotland)
