12 hours left to vote in the Golden Handbag Awards

Voting in the 2015 Golden Handbag Awards closes tonight, June 12 at midnight.

 

AS of noon, more than 6,300 people have voted online in what has been the largest online vote in the history of the awards which have run annually since 1995.

This year, 3,000 people voted in the first four days of online voting, smashing all previous records.

The closest categories as of this morning are Favourite Sunday Lunch, Favourite Hotel, Favourite Entertainer (drag) and Favourite Small Bar where there are 5 venues in with a chance of taking the crown.

James Ledward, editor of Gscene Magazine said: “With no voting forms in the printed copy of the magazine this year, we have had the biggest online vote ever. 50% of the categories have just 50 votes between the top two contenders. Good luck to everyone involved and remember winning a Golden Handbags is a privilege not a right!”
