The closing date for entries is 31 October 2010 and the Gala Awards Dinner will follow on 26 January 2011 at a prestigious London venue which will be announced shortly. The Rushlight Awards are a celebration and promotion of the leading organizations throughout UK and Ireland which have furthered environmental technology and innovation in the fields of:
- renewable energy

- Energy efficiency
- "green" products and services
- Water
- Waste
- Resource minimisation
- Environmental management
- Environmental monitoring and analysis
If you have developed a technology, worked with a client on an innovative solution to an environmental issue or introduced any form of advance in knowledge associated with cleantech, then there will be at least one of the 24 direct entry categories which will be suitable for you to promote your achievements. To enter, just go to www.rushlightawards.co.uk and How to Enter and follow the guidelines – the process is all online. The benefits of entering can be significant.
The awards can be used:
- to have your technological achievements recognised by a leading independent judging panel
- to market your product
- to celebrate and thank the team who have developed a technology or solution
- to promote your brand as an environmentally responsible society member
- to publicise the innovation so that others may adopt something similar
- to launch a new initiative

- to access new sources of funding, partners and other support
- to open your business to new market opportunities
In addition, all entrants are eligible for a one page entry into the Book of Entries which has become an annual online publication of note. On top of all this, we are putting together a number of free benefits for the successful SME entrants.
The awards are accredited by the RSA and so the winners of the group categories will be eligible to go forward to represent the UK or Ireland in the European Business Awards for the Environment.
The awards have the support, once again, of organisations such as DECC, Carbon Trust, Technology Strategy Board, Energy Savings Trust, Renewables Advisory Board, CIWM, SEERAD, EPSRC, NESTA, Low Carbon Vehicle Partnership, Environment Agency, WRAP, UKERC, Advisory Council on Carbon Abatement Technologies and Renewable Fuels Agency.
