The entry deadline for the 2013 Re:fresh Awards has been extended to Friday 30 August to give companies and individuals more time to stake their claim for glory.

This year's entry system is easier than ever, offering the chance to enter online atwww.refresh.uk.com/awards/awards-categories-2013. Finalists will compete for the ultimate industry accolade across 15 categories, with new additions this year including Manager of the Year, the CSR Award, the Collaboration Award and Best Place to Work.

Chairman of the judges, Nigel Jenney, said: 'We've extended the deadline by two weeks to give all those people away on holiday the opportunity to get their entries in. This is set to be the most exciting and keenly contested awards night yet, and with a simpler-than-ever online entry system, there's no excuse at all not to take part!'
