Deadline for entries for Entrepreneur of the Year Award is October 27

The Ernst & Young Middle East Entrepreneur of the Year Award is currently accepting nominations from entrepreneurs in the region, the deadline for which is October 27.

To enter the awards programme either download the application form from www.ey.com/me/eoy or contact local Ernst & Young office for more information.

To be eligible to enter, entrepreneurs must be an owner/manager who is primarily responsible for the recent performance of a privately held business that is at least two years old or be a founder of a listed company, who is still active in senior management or is still a 51 per cent owner.

Self-nominations are encouraged and there is no fee to enter.

‘The Ernst & Young Entrepreneur of the Year programme honours exactly what its name implies — the entrepreneur. Being a recipient of this prestigious business award means that you are at the top of your game,” said Ahmed Al Aiban, chairman, Ernst & Young, Middle East.

“Celebrating entrepre-neurs and the business they build and grow has always been a priority for Ernst & Young. This has been particularly evident for the past two decades in other regions through the Ernst & Young Entrepreneur of the Year programme and we see no reason why the Middle East business leaders shouldn’t benefit from the same recognition as the rest of the world’s entrepreneurs.”
