Best of South Tyneside Awards shortlist is revealed as the big night beckons
and live on Freeview channel 276
Judges have scrutinised all of the entries in a top-class field of nominations for the first awards to be held since the pandemic.
It was a tough task to narrow down the field in any of the categories but they did decide on the worthy causes who will progress to the next stage of the competition.
Every member of the judging agreed that the standard of nominations was inspiring.
Supporting the Best of South Tyneside Awards this year are sponsors including South Tyneside Council, South Tyneside College, JML, Siemens, Harlow Printing, South Tyneside and Sunderland NHS Foundation Trust, Goldfinch Estate Agents, and Barbour. We thank them all.
