For the eleventh year Scotsman Publications has joined forces with Glenfiddich®, the world's premier single malt Scotch whisky, to give you the chance to vote in the Glenfiddich Spirit of Scotland Awards®
Broadcast on STV on St Andrew's night (November 30), this unique awards scheme recognises the individuals who inspire our nation, leading the way in Scottish culture from food, music, the environment and screen to arts, entrepreneur, writing and sp
ort, and who through their achievements are making every year count.
Over the years, the Glenfiddich Spirit of Scotland Awards have grown in stature. Receiving one of these awards is now one of the country's most sought-after honours - made all the more important because the winners are selected not by an elite few, but by the people of Scotland. Last year readers cast votes by the thousand for winners including actor David Tennant, writer Christopher Brookmyre and musician Edwyn Collins.
Last week The Scotsman Magazine profiled those shortlisted for the arts and music categories. This week it is the turn of the entrepreneurs and writers. Next week our final nominees come from the worlds of screen and sport. The nominees have been shortlisted by our judging panel but it's over to you to decide who should win.
In the fifth and final week, you can vote for the Top Scot Award, an open category where you can choose the Scot from any walk of life whom you believe has made the greatest impact in furthering Scotland's reputation at home and abroad this year.Your chance to win fantastic prizes
