<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif">Each award category falls under one of the “four points” in the Main Street Approach – Organization, Promotion, Economic Vitality and Design. Panels of outside judges for each point review
the entries and determine the winners. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
