2025 Terms and Conditions

General Entry Information

Each business is eligible to enter one industry category only.

To be eligible to enter a sub-category - New/Emerging Award (Less than 3 years in operation) and Small Business Award (0-11 FTE’s) you must first have entered an industry category and then opt-in to enter the particular sub-category.

Any business that enters an industry category is automatically entered into Electra Business of the Year 2025.

Sub-categories and Electra Business of the Year 2025 will use your industry category entry form for judging, so no additional information is required should you opt-in to enter.

Hall of Fame categories are by nomination only.

Either the registered business address or the main base for business operations must be based in either Kapiti or Horowhenua.

By registering in the 2025 Awards you are accepting these terms of use and giving consent for us to add and communicate with you via our BKH Awards and Membership platform.
