Independent Chair of Judges, Barbara Woroncow OBE, complimented the standard of the finalists: "With so many exceptional entries it is always a pleasure to see so many high quality submissions; the judges always struggle to choose who should go through to the awards. Yorkshire has such an abundance of tourism gems, those who made the finalist list should be incredibly proud of themselves." Barbara is joined on the independent panel of judges by Peter Charlton - Editor of the Yorkshire Post, Elaine Lemm - food and travel writer and Roger Bowers - former High Sheriff of West Yorkshire.
