The excellent home-business web site Enterprise Nation is now accepting entries for its 2008 home business award. The closing date is Friday the 15th of August 2008, and the winner will be announced on the 1st of September.

The free competition is easy to enter, requiring just 200 words under each of three headings on the entry form. Your business needs to be home-based and located in the UK.

The prizes are not huge, but varied and interesting - for example a year’s free use of a virtual assistant (secretarial) service, 10 days use of a central London meeting venue, accounting software, a computer printer and a coffee machine. The event is also very likely to attract good publicity for the winner.
