Meet your Muddy Awards Finalists 2023!
You’ve voted, we’ve counted (and counted, and counted, and counted…) and the Muddy Awards Finals, in association with our local partner Kitsons Solicitors, are LIVE!
A massive THANK YOU for taking the time to support your awesome local businesses this year – a record number of you nominated in the first round of the Awards and, frankly, the response has blown our socks off. And, while we wish every brilliant business nominated could make it through, there can only be five finalists in each category and it’s up to you to decide who wins the coveted Regional Award. Each Regional winner will also be considered for the first ever National Muddy Awards to find the ‘best of the best’ across all 28 Muddy counties – so there’s even more reason to show your support this year!
The Awards close on 4 June 2022 at 5pm – so if there’s a business you love, make sure you VOTE HERE.
OK, you want to see who made it through? ‘Course you do! Meet your worthy Devon Finalists:
