The finalists have been revealed for the YorkMix Choice Awards – and it’s time to vote in the final round for your favourite local businesses and organisations.
The awards, sponsored by Yorkshire Profiles, aim to recognise businesses that are making a difference in the area – and the winners are chosen entirely by you.
Yes, there are no judges for the YorkMix Choice Awards. Instead our readers and listeners vote for their favourite local businesses that they use day in and day out.
You have until Wednesday 17 May at 23:59:00 to vote for your favourite business or organisation. The winners will then be announced in a live ceremony on the 18 May at the Principal York Hotel.
“We are thrilled to have our finalists for our first YorkMix Choice Awards,” said YorkMix Radio‘s David Green. “Thank you to all our readers and listeners who have voted so far.
