After the finalists have been introduced to our readers, the voting process will get started, with each of the bakeries campaigning for your support.

You will have two weeks to vote between Monday, September 2 and Saturday, September 14 by picking up copies of The Mail.

Throughout that fortnight, The Mail will be running special features on each of the 10 finalists, which you will be able to find every day online and in print.

These will uncover the history behind the businesses, the people who have brought them to life, and exactly why they deserve your vote against all the others in Furness.

Keep an eye out for those features next month - and get nominating before it is too late.
