The annual Countryside Alliance Awards are now open to public nomination, and the local AM for Montgomeryshire is urging the local community to get nominating.
The Countryside Alliance Awards, nicknamed the ‘Rural Oscars’, celebrate people going the extra mile to ensure that rural Britain’s food and farming industry, small businesses, traditional skills, forward-thinking enterprises and, most of all, its people, can flourish.
Urging the people of Montgomeryshire to take part, Russell George AM said:
“These awards are an excellent way to promote the local businessmen and women who are working hard to keep rural Mid Wales thriving.
“Our local produce is second to none and there are many community heroes and businesses worthy of national recognition, so please get involved and nominate today.
“Let’s see if we can bring an award home to Mid Wales and tell a positive story about Montgomeryshire.”
The Awards run across the following categories:
- Local Food Award
- Village shop/ Post Office Award
- Rural Enterprise Award
- Butcher Award
- Rural Pub Award
