They now have until noon on Monday, October 22 to enter the Spirit of Enterprise Awards 2018.
Organised by enterpriseGY, Great Yarmouth Borough Council's business support service, the awards aim to recognise and raise the profile of the borough's top-performing companies.
The awards have nine categories, with the winners of each considered for the title of 2018 Business of the Year by overall award sponsor Noritake Itron.
The awards are free to enter online and finalists will be profiled in a supplement in the Great Yarmouth Mercury, with winners appearing in a further supplement.
Great Yarmouth Borough Council leader Graham Plant said: 'This awards scheme is another way that the council is supporting the local economy, boosting investor confidence by showcasing the many brilliant businesses of all sizes and sectors from across the borough.
'We always have great feedback, with past winners saying the recognition has helped to boost staff morale, their profile and their reputation with customers.'
