{mosimage}

For the past 5 years, the British Curry Industry has been hosting the Annual British Curry Awards to honour the best restaurants in Britain. Indian Food is extremely popular in the UK and the awards were only a natural next step. If you are a restaurant owner, then being a winner or a nominee helps to separate you from the rest of the pack. Thiis year is a very special one for the British Curry Awards 2009. Not only have they reached their 5th year, but they will be commemorating another landmark occasion and celebrating the fact that the spice industry has received official recognition from Her Majesty The Queen. As a result, they promise that these awards will be bigger and better than ever before.

The 2009 Awards will culminate in the glittering ceremony and dinner, a major event in the spice business calendar, attended by numerous industry figures and well known celebrities. It will be held on Tuesday, 3rd November, for the first time at Battersea Evolution, London's most dynamic dining and events space.
As always, a panel of judges, hand-picked for their expertise, impartiality and respect within the industry, will deliberate all categories, paying particular attention to entries that highlight how they surpassed objectives set out in the judging brief, while also providing concise testimonials and strong supporting material.

Backed by the Spice Business magazine, firmly established as the industryâ€â„¢s leading publication, the Awards reach out to a worldwide audience of millions through TV, radio, newspaper and magazine coverage. With a new venue, and 'royal' approval, this is the year to enter the Event Awards.
