PAGE 3. FROM BLYTH Honour our local businesses This fall, The Citzen and NEBS Business Products have joined forces to honour and promote local area businesses. Through the Local Business Awards Program local busi- nesses will be eligible to be honoured in four different categories. The Most Unique New Local Business will recognize a firm that has been established in the last three years. This firm will be totally differ- ent from established businesses or will have been organized or promot- ed in a unique manner. The Best Local Business Web- Site will honour a business whose web- site best supports the business and exemplifies the additional services possible through the internet. Citizen readers will be able to vote for their choice as the Most Community-Involved Business. A 'people's choice' poll will let the newspapers readers decide which local business has best supported the community in the last year. The Oldest-Established Local Business will also be honoured for its length of service to the community. An independent panel of judges will determine the winners in the first two categories and each entry must be submitted with a letter of 150 words setting out why the business should receive the award. Local win- ners in these two categories will advance to a regional final. Further information and an entry form will be appearing in The Citizen. All entrants will receive a certifi- cate of merit, and plaques celebrating their achievement will be awarded to the winners. Keith Roulston, publisher of The Citizen, said "the local competion provides the opportunity for busi- nesses to distinguish themselves for their uniqueness, internet savvy, community support and long service. We are very pleased to offer our local businesses this opportunity to gain local and provincial recognition." Winners will be announced in The Citizen, during October.
