The nominations are in and voting is now open for this year’s Your Southport Stars Awards.
Over eighty Southport town centre businesses are nominated over twelve categories.
The Awards, organised by Southport BID, celebrate the vital contribution and positive impact of local businesses over the previous twelve months.
In 2023, venues including Southport Bijou Cinema, A Great Little Place and Marks and Spencer picked up the top prize in their respective categories.
You can cast your votes now at www.southportbid.com/stars.
The Awards night will take place at The Grand on Tuesday April 16, where businesses will be invited to come together and mark the achievements of the last year.
As well as the twelve distinct categories, the business with the most votes overall will receive the Business of the Year award for 2024.
Voting closes on Thursday 5 April.
Rachel Fitzgerald, Southport CEO said: “The Stars Awards are a unique opportunity to show off the brilliant business community that exists within Southport town centre.
“With over 35,000 votes cast for last year’s Awards, it’s clear that the public are keen to support our town and champion their favourite venues. Make sure to cast your vote this year!”
