Win Valuable media exposure for your business...

Backed by Sky News and the Daily Express, the HSBC Start-Up Stars Award will provide your business with national and regional press coverage.

There's a top prize of £50,000 for the winner. Plus over £50,000 worth of prizes for the runners-up. And for businesses with gleaming green credentials - there's a further £5,000 to be won.

The Awards welcome any fledging firms less than three years old which can prove they have the determination, dedication, creativity and business acumen for success.

The regional heats, which generate 50 Regional Winners, seek entries from all over the UK. A panel of business experts will then select the top 10 new businesses to fly the flag for their region in the National Finals.

Each National Finalist will win £2,500 of Google AdWords credits, with the Overall Winner and the Green Award Winner scooping £5,000 of AdWords plus a trip to Google's London Offices.
