All regional winners in Cornwall, along with winners from the other Muddy counties, will automatically go through to the 2024 National Awards, and five businesses in each category will be picked by the Muddy Stilettos Editors to go through to the National Finals, with the ‘Best of the Best’ Winners crowned in July 2024.

Generating a great sense of community spirit, the Muddy Stilettos Awards are a great way for locals to say ‘thank you’ to their most loved indie shops, and independent businesses to use the accolade of a Muddy Award to grow their businesses further.

Hero Brown, founder and editor-in-chief of Muddy Stilettos says: “I set up these awards 11 years ago to give local lifestyle indies a chance to shine. It’s been an honour to showcase these most creative, innovative lifestyle businesses across Cornwall, sponsored by Tide Banking nationally. The response to this year’s MuddyAwards has been incredible with thousands voting to support an amazing array of local businesses big and small."
