Sponsorship Opportunities

The Yorkshire Rural Awards – the only accolades to be devoted exclusively to the successes of the Yorkshire countryside – have been recognised as vital in acknowledging business achievement and community enterprise, and will grow in importance thanks to the support of the region’s leading companies and key personalities. Now entering their fourth year, we have the support of business from across Yorkshire.

We have run the awards since their inception 4 years ago, and are always looking for sponsors to help raise the event, the exciting run-up, and the night itself to new levels. Below is a list of this year's winners and award sponsors, and extra categories were introduced in 2010; Rural Retailer, Rural Arts and Culture and Rural Regeneration.

With the awards growing each year, if you'd like to get involved in a stunning Yorkshire event by sponsoring an award, or if you'd like to find out about other sponsorship opportunites, you can use the form on the left or give us a call.
