Final Call: Don’t miss out! MKBAA entries close this Friday!
Entries for the Milton Keynes Business Achievement Awards (MKBAA) 2026 are coming in fast, but there’s still time to get your name in the running. Stage 1 takes less than an hour to complete. Just 500 words. One form. One opportunity to shine.
So, if you’ve been thinking “Maybe we should enter…” - stop thinking. Do it. The clock is ticking toward Friday’s deadline.
Why Enter?
Because visibility matters. Credibility matters. Your story matters.
As Richard Gordon of The Willen Ice Cream Company, winner of the 2025 MKBAA Micro Business Award puts it, winning was “a celebration and reward of all the hard work… it has opened doors to new collaborations… you never know who is watching and what opportunities are out there for you.”
And for Mixxos, the recognition of the Small & Medium Business award boosted team pride and awareness: “To any business considering entering the MKBAA, I’d say absolutely go for it. The process itself encourages valuable reflection on what makes your business unique, and the connections made along the way are genuinely rewarding."
Whether you win or not, just entering puts your business in front of influential judges, stakeholders, and the wider MK community.
