Yes you can. Simple complete and submit the form again with the new information – however, to enale as many of our Community to participate in the Awards as possible we ask that you limit your entries to two.
We have deliberately tried to make the Awards categories as open as possible. The digital & creative industries are so broad and cover so many sectors we didn’t want anyone to feel left out. We know as creative folks you’ll find the perfect category to fit you or your business.
The Mainframe Awards 2020 are being live-streamed from the home of Mainframe, QUAD in Derby. We’ll be joined virtually by the judges, shortlisted and Mainframe community.
There is no specific dress code but we do hope you’ll get your glad rags on!
We have deliberately avoided a formal sponsorship set-up for the Awards and feel this helps our aim to be seen us as impartial & accessible. However, we are always open to help from our amazingly talented Community so please do get in touch with us at mainframe@derbyquad.co.uk if you want to talk about any aspect of the Awards.
At the Awards you will see us celebrating our partners in The Big House and anyone who has been kind enough to offer their help.
