Now in their tenth year, The Muddy Stilettos Awards are back with a bang! 2,565 Finalists
have been announced in this year’s Finals line up as the very best of independent lifestyle
businesses across 28 Muddy Counties, including 135 businesses in Cornwall, chosen by their
customers and Muddy readers.
Already 765,000 readers have got involved and from the first round of Awards nominations in
Cornwall across 27 lifestyle categories but only the top five with the most nominations in each
category have made it into The Finals.
Two Bude businesses have made it into the Finals – one is Bellini’s Deli Kitchen (Best Farmshop Deli category) and Ash Powell (Best Wedding Photographer category) so why not show these local businesses some love and vote for them?
Running to 4 June 2023, all previous votes have been wiped clean from the Nomination round
and the second round of voting has begun, inviting customers, friends and family onto our
website to vote in The Finals for their favourite brilliant business, including two new category
additions of Best Beauty Salon/Clinic and Best Wedding Photographer, plus back by popular
demand, the award for Best New Lifestyle Business Start-up, for those plucky entrepreneurs who
set up in the past year.
Muddy Stilettos is the biggest luxury lifestyle site outside London, reaching 1.2 million women
every month across 28 counties to make the most of where they live, with inside info on the most
exciting, unique and wonderful things to do locally. The Muddy Awards are FREE TO ENTER, and
