The National Outsourcing Association has officially launched this year’s annual NOA Awards (NOAAs). The doors are now open for all outsourcing professionals to submit their entries. New for this year’s awards is a dedicated microsite where sourcingfocus.com readers can find all the information they need to enter.

Now in its sixth year, the NOAAs are firmly established as the main highlight of the outsourcing industry calendar. The NOAAs aim to showcase the best and brightest achievements in outsourcing, celebrating best practice and recognising the efforts of companies and individuals who have demonstrated excellence in their fields.

This year’s awards will be held at the Park Plaza Riverbank, London, boasting spectacular views over the City’s most striking landmarks such as the London Eye, Houses of Parliament and Big Ben. The ceremony will also be hosted by a top celebrity.

The ceremony will be held on the evening of Thursday 15th October 2009. Companies have until the 10th of July to submit their entries.
