That's because this year, there are even more reasons than ever to enter. Changes include the introduction of a new award for business, industry and trade journalists, sponsored by Prova PR.

In another important development, the Driver and Rider of the Year awards are changing. From now on, these accolades will focus on up-and-coming, home-grown drivers and riders, recognising them as rising stars of British motorsport.

Finally, there's a great boost for our flagship prize, the Pierre Dreyfus trophy for the UK Journalist of the Year, sponsored since inception by Renault UK. It's getting even bigger and better! The addition to the prize fund of £500 by the Guild brings this award to a sizeable £3,000. It will now be known as the Renault UK Guild of Motoring Writers UK Journalist of the Year Award.

So the total prize fund sits are more than £20,000, plus there's a fine array of exquisite trophies on offer. Winners will receive their accolades during our annual festivity, the Dinner and Awards, held at the RAC in Pall Mall on 3 December.
