FF Awards 2023 – Meet the Finalists!
We are pleased to announce the Finalists for the FF Awards 2023, sponsored by JobsOhio.
We received over 250 videos before voting was opened up to the FF News Audience. Over 6,000 votes were cast with more than 18,000 total minutes of video entries viewed!
After 2 intense weeks, we have narrowed down the finalists for each category. These finalists will have their entry videos screened to our, frankly jaw-dropping, selection of judges in each category. These judges will decide on the winner of each category giving each entry a mark out of 10 over the coming weeks.
The winners will be announced at the FF Awards Show on the 28th of November at Old Billingsgate. There are absolutely no tickets or tables for sale. This event will be strictly invite only.
Katherine Ryan is hosting, with a music set from Toploader and as has been tradition for the past two years, we will have a few surprises… (previous years this has been appearances from the likes of Brian Blessed, Frank Abangale Jr, and John Bercow)
Huge, huge congratulations to all companies in the finals, we look forward to seeing you all at the show on the 28th! You will all receive finalist badges and exclusive invitations in the coming days.
