Sussex businesses who employ older workers are being encouraged to take part in a national competition.
The Department for Work and Pensions wants employers to enter the 2004 Age Positive Awards.
Minister for pensions Malcolm Wicks said: "A birth date can stop someone getting the job they want and that isn't right.
"You can't put an age on true talent and businesses need to tackle age discrimination now to reap the rewards in the future."
The closing date for entries is May 21. Entry forms can be obtained from the web site www.agepositive.gov.uk
