As much as businesses want to win, please remain kind and considerate both to our hard-working staff and your fellow businesses.

WINNING THE FINALS
Someone has to win, why not you?! The winning business across each category will be invited to a celebratory regional Winner’s Drinks Event. Every Regional Winner will also be automatically put forward for the National Finals, where the Muddy Stilettos Editors will crown the ‘Best of the Best’ in each category as a National Winner - a huge accolade to those winning the ultimate prize.
