The annual event will be held online only this year in November as a result of the coronavirus restrictions and the deadline for entries is September 18.
There are also still opportunities for commercial partners to get involved in the ceremony as an event sponsor.
BirminghamLive editor Anna Jeys said: "We have already welcomed some excellent nominations but we're looking forward to receiving even more in the final three weeks before deadline passes.
"These awards will shine a light on the growing strength of the city region's apprenticeship movement.
"Even though we can't hold a ceremony in person, we know the evening will still be a stellar celebration of our region's apprentices, their employers and those training providers helping them to succeed."
