Each product can only participate in one category.
On this edition other Bike Companies can participate (not only producers/brands) - Now Resellers, Distributors, Bike Stores, etc, can also participate in the new categories "Best Website" and "Best Online Store" and they will be also nominated for the "Best Companies" category!
All companies participating in one or more product categories, will automatically be nominated to the "Best Companies" category.
The nominations can be submitted in the BikeToday.news Portal by a representative of the company who owns the rights of the product, solution, etc. A User Account on BikeToday.news portal is needed to participate and the User Account must "own" the company profile (login and confirm that the company is listed on the User Menu "My companies").

This can be done by publishing a news/blog post on the company website (with image and clickable link) (Text Example: "We are participating on the BikeToday.news Awards... The voting phase will start soon. Make sure you vote for us!") and also by publishing a post on the company's social media pages (like facebook, twitter, linkedin, instagram, etc.) sharing the logo and link of the BikeToday.news Awards. Only the companies that shared the awards logo and link will be nominated.
After the voting phase started all companies nominated must also share their participation on their website and/or social media pages. Example "We are nominated for the BikeToday.news Awards 2021.
