Awards, Island-wide

The Countryside Alliance Awards are back again and Island MP, Andrew Turner, is urging Islanders to show their support for local businesses by voting for them in the various categories.

Countryside Alliance AwardsYou might know the Countryside Alliance Awards as the Best Rural Retailer competition.

Last year Orchard Brothers in Freshwater were shortlisted in a couple of the categories.

Mr Turner said:

The Island has many outstanding rural businesses and I encourage people to nominate their favourite. The contribution rural organisations make to the Island?s communities and economy cannot be overstated. These awards are a first class way of giving them the recognition they deserve and I do hope Islanders will participate and vote.

If you know of a rural organisation that you think deserves recognition, have a look at the categories below and make your vote on the Web site.

1. Best Local Food Award
2. Best Village Shop/Post Office Award
3. Rural Enterprise Award
4. Daily Telegraph Best Traditional Business Award
5. Rural Hero
