Of course you can make a late entry even though the Nominated list is live. How would €1500 per category suit you? No?

The hashtag for this unveiling is #SockOnThis so please do use it because you know how childish and puerile we are. 200 companies/orgs entered this year, the biggest year ever. The event will be in the RDS on May 25th. There are now going to be two rounds of judging to get us to the Finalists list.
