The Great Outdoors Reader Awards are the biggest democratic celebration of the best of British outdoor culture. Twelve years ago, we launched our first annual awards – and our readers have been championing the people, places and businesses that make our outdoor lives better ever since.
What makes these awards different – and gives extra kudos to winners – is that it’s you, the outdoor-going public, who decide the results. Only your nominees have made it onto this shortlist, and only those who win the most of your votes walk away with the top accolade or one of two commended awards in each category.
