Here are yet more examples of businesses which are aspiring to win the title of 1998 Evening Press Business Venture of the Year.

There is a lot at stake, with £8,000 worth of prizes as a result yet again of sponsorship with the Evening Press by Barclays Bank and the North Yorkshire Training and Enterprise Council. The title comes with a £2,000 cheque and £1,000 worth of free advertising in the Evening Press.

Runner-up gets £1,000 and £500 worth of free advertising; third place earns £500 plus £250 of free advertising.

On top of that there are three special category prizes of £500 each - Trainer of the Year, Exporter of the Year and Personality of the Year.

All entries will be put into a grand draw with two separate prizes on offer - £250 of free advertising and the winner's own single page Evening Press website online for literally the whole world to see and tap into for a year.
