The Beautiful South Awards are now closed for entry. Further information regarding the event will be published in due course. 

​

The 2020 /21 awards process was some what different with the ceremony taking place virtually.  Praise from entrants included comments such as : “It is always a thrill to win an award and is so good for the whole team, but in a year like this it has meant even more.”  Other entrants listed the benefits of entering as increasing bookings, generating PR, boosting staff morale, and valued the feedback on how their business could be improved.

The 2021/22 awards cover the full range of tourism-related businesses including pubs, cafes and restaurants, accommodation, wedding and business venues, attractions, events and experiences.  As well as opportunities to submit entries for unsung heroes, new businesses, dog friendly, accessibility and sustainability.

This year there is a new award for Resilience and Innovation that recognises businesses within the tourism industry who have demonstrated innovation, resilience and adaptation, along with support for their local communities, during the COVID-19 pandemic.

 
Winning a Beautiful South Award can also lead to national recognition for those who progress through to VisitEngland’s Tourism Excellence Awards in 2022.
