The Yorkshire Choice Awards was founded by Joanne Maltby and Melanie Malcolm who saw an opportunity to recognise and raise the awareness of local people and independent businesses that are inspirational in their own way or in the markets they serve.
The Awards demonstrate that through adversity and courage, light can shine through in so many different ways and give the deserving nominees, finalists, and winners the exposure they truly deserve.
Since its inception in 2015, the Yorkshire Choice Awards has experienced significant growth, serving as a platform to honour the finest individuals, businesses and initiatives from Yorkshire. In addition to recognising outstanding achievements, this event has also been instrumental in generating funds for local charitable organisations.
We take great pride in our support of various causes throughout Yorkshire, including Martin House Children's Hospice, The Danny Jones Defibrillator Fund, St Gemma's Hospice, Bethany's Smile, Simon on The Streets, the MND Association, The Leeds United Foundation, Shine21, Andy's Man Club and Candlelighters.
By participating in the Yorkshire Choice Awards, not only will you gain extensive exposure for your business, but you will also contribute to giving well-deserved recognition to unsung heroes while making a positive impact on a worthy charity.
2027 marks the 11th year of the Yorkshire Choice Awards! For over a decade, we’ve celebrated the remarkable individuals, organisations, charities and businesses that make Yorkshire such a brilliant place to live and work. We’re planning another truly special year, and there’s never been a better time to get involved.
We’re thrilled to announce that our 2027 Charity Partner will be Leeds Hospitals Charity -
who make a real difference for the people and patients of Yorkshire. They do this by funding life-saving equipment, treatments, research into rare diseases and home comforts – whatever will make the biggest impact to the people who need it most.
If you’d like to support Yorkshire’s most uplifting night of the year and align your brand with a cause that matters, we’d love to hear from you.
