Precedent Productions managing director Steve Loe said COVID-19 did not stop the number of nominations by mail and online being just as strong as in previous years and it was more important than ever to celebrate their achievements and success in 2020.
Mr Loe has run the awards for 35 years but never in a year like this. But that did not stop people in communities up and down the South Coast nominating their favourite businesses.
Mr Loe said the finalists for the 36th annual Illawarra and South Coast Local Business Awards are;
