Sidmouth residents can now nominate their favourite local business in the Jurassic Business Awards 2023.

The accolades started in 2021 as the Lyme Regis Business Awards before expanding to include Charmouth then Sidmouth and Seaton.

Categories include "Hotel of the Year", "Restaurant of the Year" and "Tourism Business of the Year".

Nigel Reeve of organiser MW Business Events and Awards said: "We believe that local businesses are the backbone of a town's economy.

"They create employment, they innovate, they bring healthy competition and so many are the sort of independent businesses that give town's their unique identity and we want to help these businesses prosper.

"The key thing is these awards are free to enter, while customers can also nominate a local business for an award. We have ten different categories so there's a category to suit any business. We encourage as many businesses as possible to enter and local residents to nominate their favourites.

"The awards are funded purely through the sale of category sponsorship. Sponsors have already started signing up, which is great news and anyone interested can contact us via the website."

The deadline for entries is Monday 30 October and the winners will be announced online on Tuesday 12 December.
