Countryside Alliance Awards

The Countryside Alliance Awards team is proud to reveal the East of England's Finalists for 2013. Judging will now take place with the East of England's Champions being revealed in the New Year. One Champion will be named in each of the four categories (Local Food, Village Shop/ Post Office, Butcher and Start-up).

Those Regional Champions will then go through to the British final, and will be invited to the Houses of Parliament in April 2014 to represent the region and to hear if they have taken a British title on top of their regional one.

Good luck to all finalists. Please keep supporting your local small businesses and those who work hard to make rural life tick. Follow progress on Twitter @CAAwards.
