Voting is now OPEN!
We don't choose our winners, you do!
The 2025 Yorkshire Choice Awards are searching for Yorkshire's finest, and the power to decide is yours! Check out the nominees who’ve made it to the public voting stage and cast your vote to help decide the winners.
You can vote in every category but only once per IP address, so make it count! If you spot a local nominee in another category, why not show them your support too?
All votes are thoroughly reviewed and verified before the final counts are confirmed. Once voting has closed, our independent adjudicators will conduct a detailed verification of the public votes. Any misuse of the voting process may result in disqualification.
All finalists and winners will be announced at our 2025 Awards Gala Dinner celebrations on 6th June 2025. Don’t miss this special evening! Click here for tickets.
