Saffron Walden's historic market is competing in this year's Great British Market Awards.
Shoppers across the country have already started voting for Britain's Favourite Market, a competition run by The National Association of British Markets (NABMA).
Voting closes on December 13.
Terry Frostick, operations and market manager at Saffron Walden Town Council, said: "I am very excited about this.
"It would be wonderful achievement to get recognition for all our stallholders and the Town Council team."
On November 15, NAMBA revealed that Saffron Walden is a top-20 contender for the award against competition in Cardiff, Chester, Macclesfield and Swansea.
In its submission to NABMA, Saffron Walden Town Council noted that the market is a boost to the economy and is seen as the "heart of the town".
Terry and his colleagues won NABMA's Market Team of the Year 2021 award in October.
