Organisers said: "A massive thank you for taking the time to support your awesome local businesses this year.

"Frankly, the response has blown our socks off – this awards nominations stage has been the busiest yet.

"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!" 

Voting will remain open until June 4.
