Optician Awards 2016: Now open for entries

There is no better way to put your practices on the map, reward your staff or showcase a world class product than winning an Optician Award and now is your chance to beat the Christmas rush by getting your entries in.

The website outlining all of the Optician Awards categories, the judging criteria and what you need to do to win can be found at www.opticianawards.com. The closing date for entries in January 22 and most categories simply require a statement of less than 1,000 words and supporting materials to make the initial entry.

‘With the closing date so early in the New Year the deadline can catch some entrants out,’ said Optician editor Chris Bennett. 'In the past entrants have asked for more warning of the deadline which comes very soon after the Christmas break.’
