Along with categories for business and leadership there are prizes in areas such as environment, corporate social responsibility, arts and culture, education and sport.
Anna Doran, general manager for Anglo-Scottish services at awards sponsor Virgin Trains, said: "There's so many great things going on in Glasgow at the moment, we need an event like this to celebrate all the amazing people who are making it happen and we're proud to play our part in supporting this. Virgin Trains has served Glasgow since 1997 and we have a really strong relationship with the city which goes from strength to strength."

Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
