Deadline for BOB awards nominations fast approaching

Jun 7, 2018 | 2:00 PM

There are just a few days remaining to nominate your favourites for the 2018 Best of the Battlefords (BOB) Awards presented by battlefordsNOW.

There are hundreds of categories available to nominate your favourite whether it’s a food establishment, favourite teacher, sports team, volunteer or business.

Betty Speed, sales manager of battlefordsNOW said after last year’s response, she expects a great number of nominees.

“It was very exciting to see the response last year,” said Speed. “We had over 50,000 people vote in over 200 categories.”

Nominations began May 21 and will wrap up on June 10. When nominations cease, the top three that receive the most entries will move onto the voting stage which happens June 18 to July 8.

“You still have some time to get your nominations in,” Speed added. “Plus you can nominate in more than one categories so if you have a favourite hairdresser, boss or sports team, you can nominate them all.”

Following the voting, the winners will be announced on July 30 and the winners will be recognized at the BOB Awards Ceremony in September.
