Nominations received by Wednesday 19th October 2022 will go through to a shortlisting process – 3-5 nominees will be shortlisted in each category as finalists.

Those nominated will be contacted to see if they accept the nomination (if they have not been sent by themselves) and if so, given an opportunity to submit additional information to be used by the judges in their deliberations.

The finalists will be put out to a test of public opinion on our social media sites – Facebook, Instagram and Twitter. Members of the public will be able to vote for their favourite finalists and leave comments on why they believe the person/business should win.
