The judges have completed their work and the winners and highly-commended have been decided.
It has been a tough job this year as the judges first narrowed down the entries to a shortlist and then carried out visits to the finalists to decide the all-important winners.
All that is left now is the decision for the Judges’ Prestige Award.
Editor Sharon Hodkin said: “I know how difficult it has been for our judges thanks to the high calibre of entries we have received this year.
“As always, we are immensely grateful for them giving up their time to help us with such an important task.
“I cannot wait to find out who they have selected.”
The results of their deliberations will be revealed at a gala black-tie ceremony.
It takes place at the Lady Eastwood Pavilion, Newark Showground, on Friday, June 14.
