= British Business Awards = An annual event held by the British Chamber of Commerce in Japan to highlight British innovation, entrepreneurship, business success, and social contributions to Japan. It is a highlight of British creativity, commerce, and especially, culture. Winners are chosen by a panel of five independent judges who base their decision on social consciousness, ethical standards, community involvement, and strives towards environmental sustainability. The practice of this award ceremony strengthens the business ties between the UK and Japan to influence trade between the two nations.

Categories for Judging
The BBA judges look for which members and firms of the BCCJ best highlight progress throughout the year. Awards are broken down into six categories: Company of the Year, Entrepreneur of the Year, UK-Japan Partnership, Community Contribution, Innovation, and Person of the Year. Other categories switch throughout the years depending on the economic outcome of the year and progress made towards other industries. Points are on a scale of 0-4, 0 being no evidence while 4 represents clear, strong evidence of strive. The judges go through this process independently to ensure unbiased opinions of member advancement.
