About the awards

The Upstarts Awards began in 2001 to encourage and reward extraordinary vision, ethical business practice and social responsibility. They aim to showcase businesses that offer innovative and sustainable solutions to social issues.

The 2008 award categories are:
- Social Entrepreneur of the Year
- Social Enterprise of the Year
- Young Social Entrepreneur of the Year
- Social Enterprise Mentor of the Year
- Social Enterprise Trainee of the Year
