The Car Dealer Used Car Awards nominations close at 5pm after being reopened for the lockdown.
Car Dealer was due to start mystery shopping dealerships at the start of the lockdown, but host Mike Brewer and the award judges decided it was unfair to do this.
Instead, the nominations were reopened and dealerships given more time to put their names forward for our coveted awards.
The online event has been pushed back and will now kick off the new year in style, taking place on February 5.
Many more car dealers have used the extension and the quieter period during the lockdown to put themselves forward for the awards and now there are just hours left to join them.
Nominations will close at 5pm today.
The new key dates are as follows:
- Dec 2 – Deadline for entries
- Dec 7 – Nominations list revealed
- Jan 5 – Shortlist revealed
- Feb 5 – Used Car Awards broadcast at 6pm
Wheeler Dealer and Used Car Awards host Mike Brewer said: ‘We take this very seriously. Once we go through the nominations process we want to make sure everyone gets a fair shot at winning one of our awards.
‘That’s why we decided to move the awards into early next year. It will give everyone a chance.’
