Paula Seagar, of Community Interest Company, who oversee the awards, said: “Each year we see an increasing amount of public votes for the awards and we are delighted that so many incredible food and drink produces throughout the region are being given the recognition that they deserve, which is what these awards are all about.”

The votes already cast show the competition is tight so readers are encouraged to share their opinion as every vote does makes the difference.

Paula added: “Every vote really does count and we are looking forward to seeing who makes it through as grand finalists, which are announced in November.”
