BUT! Keep in mind - each business may only submit five voting forms. So it’ll be a bit of a waste if you only use it to vote in one or two of the categories…just something to think about.
When does voting close?
Voting closes on Sunday, 28 July at 5.00pm. Winners will then be announced at the awards evening on Sunday 11 August.
