Andrew Harrison, ESSA director, was pleased to announce the opening of entries saying, "The ESSA awards are now in their third year, and it is always a very difficult task for the judges to choose between the many entries we receive. The brilliance of the individuals and companies within our industry never ceases to amaze me, but it does make the job of judging the entries much harder!"
