Businesses with eye-catching displays have been shortlisted for awards in Great Yarmouth.

A group of Civic Society members has been judging the fronts of shops, cafes and restaurants as well as stalls on the six-day market.

They have settled on a shortlist of finalists in four categories.

An awards ceremony will be held in the Town Hall on Tuesday, May 28, when trophies will be presented to the winners.

Hugh Sturzaker, chair of the Civic Society, said: "Judging has not been easy with over 400 premises to judge as well as the six day market stalls.

"However, we are keen to reward those places which take pride in their business and hope that this will encourage others to smarten up the appearance of their premises and the area in front of them," he said.

The awards are sponsored by the Town Centre Partnership, Great Yarmouth Borough Council, TMS Media, SPP digital, ATEC Design and Imaging and Dr Ajay Kumar.
