The Isle of Wight County Press has been supporting local shops, pubs, cafes and other retailers for more than 130 years.

Now we are launching a new competition to find out which businesses are Islanders' favourites.

Our August 9 edition will carry a special Best of the Island supplement celebrating our local businesses and giving you the chance to vote for your number one.

There will be three categories:

Best Retail

Best Food and Drink

Best Beauty and Hair.

The winning businesses will receive £500 worth of advertising in the County Press, including print in the best-selling weekly paper in the country, and digital advertising, using our market-leading digital targeted solutions.

And if you vote, you stand a chance of winning a prize yourself.

See our August 9 edition of the County Press for full details.
