Have you entered this year’s Isle of Man Newspapers’ Awards for Excellence yet?

There are 16 awards categories offering opportunities for companies of all sizes, charitable and cultural organisations, public sector teams and individuals.

These categories include Volunteer of the Year, Small Medium Enterprise, New Business/Innovation, Public Sector Achievement and Charity Cultural and Social Enterprise.

If you make it as a finalist you will invited to attend the glittering awards ceremony in November at the Villa Marina in Douglas.

This year’s event will be compered by Miles Jupp. Comedian and writer Miles is probably best known for hosting The News Quiz on Radio Four.

He has just completed filming a new comedy show for ITV.

’Bad Move’ is written by Jack Dee and Pete Sinclair and stars Jack alongside Kerry Godliman, Manjinder Virk, Miles, Seann Walsh, Sue Vincent, Thelma Ruby and Philip Jackson.

Miles has also just appeared in a new BBC Radio 4 comedy drama The Penny Dreadfuls Present: LeCarre on Spying.

Miles plays a young David Cornwell in this mad romp through the world of espionage in 1960s Berlin.

His new book will be out on September 7. ’Egg and Soldiers’ is the fictional childhood memoir of Miles’ cookery writer creation Damien Trench from the series ’In and Out of the Kitchen’.

It details his baffling and often excruciating upbringing in North West London and includes recipes, anecdotes, some wildly tangential opinions about the state of the nation as well as multiple references to panic attacks and the digestive system.

Entries close on Friday September 15.
