The sixth Retailer of the Year competition is in full swing and the nominations are flooding in.

The 2013 competition will once again culminate in a glittering gala awards evening at the Alban Arena on June 24.

This week, we are focusing on our Fashion and Accessories category, which is once again sponsored by the Maltings shopping centre.

With so many clothes shops in the city centre it is easy to see why people in the district are so well dressed.

But which one is the best?

Last year The Green Boutique took the category award and was later named overall 2012 Retailer of the Year.

You can nominate retailers in one of six categories - fashion and accessories; specialist shops; markets trader; restaurants and cafes, food and drink and hair and beauty.

All nominations should be received by midnight on May 10. After this date our team of mystery shoppers will hit the streets, putting each and every retailer to the test.

All nominated retailers will also be sent a window poster so they can blow their own trumpets.

The competition is a joint initiative between the Review, St Albans District Council, St Albans Civic Society and St Albans District Chamber of Commerce.

To nominate a retailer text the name of the trader you want to nominate by texting the word ‘retailer’ followed by the name and address of the business to 80360. Texts cost 50p.

You can also nominate by filling out the form in this week’s Review or by emailing your entry to revieweditor@london.newsquest.co.uk
