In 2026, to mark the 25th anniversary of the EOY awards, a special mention award focused on impact and purpose will be presented on board the EOY platform. This special mention award will be selected by Impact Partners, National Council of Social Service (NCSS) and National Volunteer and Philanthropy Centre (NVPC). The honoree may or may not be a category award recipient in the main awards.
If I have previously participated in the EY Entrepreneur Of The Year awards, can I still participate in it again?
