A LAUNCH event marking the 10th anniversary of the Reading Retail Awards was held on Wednesday evening.
The awards are free to enter and have been designed to recognise and reward outstanding retailing, service and dining.
There are three new categories this year, including Best New Store, Pub of the Year and Outstanding Achievement Award.
The nomination process is simple and is open until July 26.
Entry forms can be collected from the information desks in either The Oracle or The Broad Street Mall.
The culmination of the next few months will be the glittering black tie awards evening, which will take place on September 28 at the Hilton Hotel.
Tickets will be available to purchase, priced at £75 from the Reading Retail Awards website from June.
