call me an old cynic, but there's got to be something in it for people organising all these awards, especially as you can nominate yourself. Probably a very expensive table to buy at the awards night.
Sounds as bad as the farmers weekly awards, which is one reason i'm cancelling my sub, as it goes on for weeks and is only a cheap way of filling the magazine.

I think a lot do on the farmers weekly awards, as they probably think the publicity will help their businesses.
It will be the same with this lot. They don't just do these things without motive.
Better to stick with the Wem Agricultural Society

BBC Food and farming awards - great coverage. No self nomination tho'
