Nominations for regional Special Star Awards 2010 closing soon

The awards, an initiative by the South African Council of Shopping Centres (SACSC), consist of the Regional Retailer of the Year and Regional Service Provider of the Year, recognising those retailers and service providers who have provided exceptional levels of customer service, thereby contributing positively towards South Africa's shopping centre industry. The SACSC will host regional Special Star Awards Dinners in Bloemfontein, Cape Town, Gauteng, KZN and Port Elizabeth where these retailers and service providers will be recognised on a regional level.

The 2010 National retailer of the Year and National Service Provider of the Year will also receive a Spectrum award at a gala event to be held in November.

"In celebration of the 2010 FIFA World Cup, we have introduced a new category at this year's awards," says Amanda Stops, GM of the SACSC. "One store will walk away with the award for the best window display for the World Cup, a unique award with a special significance in light of the prestigious sporting event."
