We all love food - and we live in an area where some of the country's finest food is produced.
So let's celebrate it!
This is our fourth annual Taste of Dorset Awards, and with your help - by nominating your favourite pubs and restaurants and your local food heroes - we will discover more great restaurants and pubs, farm shops and independent food shops and specialist food and drink producers.
This year there are 18 categories - including three new classes. By spreading the net even wider, we want to encourage more nominations of the outstanding food and drink businesses, products and organisations across Dorset.
The form has the names, logos and website addresses of the generous sponsors who make the awards possible. We are very grateful to all these businesses and organisations, including our loyal continuing sponsors and our new supporters. Without the generous help of all of them we could not run the awards.
The new categories are: Grow Your Own, Best Organic Business and Best Dorset Food Fair or Festival. Brief descriptions of all the categories are included on the form. If you would like more information please contact the organiser Jane Norman on jnorman@bvmedia.co.uk or the Blackmore Vale Media group editor Fanny Charles, on fcharles@bvmedia.co.uk

In each category, the finalists will be the three nominees with the greatest number of votes. Finalists will be judged by a Taste of Dorset panel drawn from sponsors, the awards organisers and local food experts.
The winners will be announced at the Taste of Dorset Awards presentation evening at The Exchange at Sturminster Newton on Friday 2nd September.
The dinner for the awards evening will be sourced, as far as possible, from local ingredients and products.
Only one nomination form per person will be accepted.
Please include your name and address. The organisers reserve the right, in the case of obvious multiple nominations for the same business, in the same handwriting, or from the same fax or email, to treat such nominations as one single nomination. The judges' decision is final and no correspondence will be entered into.
