Xchangeteam has launched its Freelancer of the Year Awards aimed at celebrating British business creativity.

The awards, now in their fifth year, will take place in Central London in February 2009.

Categories are open to freelancers and anyone who works with freelancers and serve to spotlight those who have pushed the boundaries of marketing, media and communications delivery over the past 12 months.

Seven categories for excellence in service delivery will be decided, in addition to a Grand Prix Award for 'Freelancer of the Year'.

The awards initiative dovetails with the government's Creative Britain strategy, which supports the promotion of talent in this area.

Emma Brierley, chief executive officer of Xchangeteam, said: 'This year's event promises to be the biggest and best yet and a full endorsement of the government's Creative Britain agenda.

'We look forward to honouring the winners chosen at the awards ceremony in Central London in February 2009.
