- Team and Self Development (thanks to category sponsor The Veterinary Edge)
- Veterinary Start Ups (thanks to category sponsor Shire)
Shortlisted practices have submitted video entries, which were then judged against set criteria by a panel including Liz Barton, Adrian Nelson Pratt, sponsor contacts and SPVS Board members.
