And the excitement of a return to in-person celebrations capped a memorable contest.
It was headlined by Business Sheffield - part of Sheffield City Council - and supported by Future Life Wealth Management, Banner Jones Solicitors, Launchpad, Finance for Enterprise and The Business & IP Centre Sheffield.
The judges were Yvonne Asquith, Jillian Thomas and Rachael Flintoft, who had the difficult task of reading through the many entries this year.
