Judges have just one more day to decide who will walk away with a gong at this year's Brighton and Hove Business Awards (BAHBAs).
Among the winners at last year's inaugural event were DJ Norman Cook, bespoke tailor Gresham Blake, Brighton and Hove Albion FC and dentist Christopher Gull.
Mr Blake, who won last year's New Kids On The Block Award, is on this year's judging panel. He said: "I'm looking for people who are different, show some degree of innovation, and are not scared to do their own thing."
Fewer than 20 companies have made it on to this year's shortlist, which includes fashion label Simultane, Neilson Active Holidays and IT specialists FDM.
The red-carpet ceremony, to be hosted by Channel 4 newsreader Krishnan Guru-Murthy, will take place at Brighton Racecourse on Thursday.
The BAHBAs were the brainchild of Caraline Brown, founder and managing director of PR company Midnight Communications in Foundry Street, Brighton.
This year sponsors include The Argus, University of Sussex, Nixon McInnes, NCP, and Brighton and Hove City Council.
See next Tuesday's special edition of Business for a list of all the winners plus pictures from the night.
