Two Humboldt businesses are being recognized for their achievements through marketing.

The ABEX Award finalists were announced on Friday. The awards showcase the top businesses across Saskatchewan in various categories, much like Humboldt's Mark of Excellence Awards.

Diamonds of Detroit and Spotlight Sport and Corporate Wear have both been nominated for the ABEX Award for Marketing through the Saskatchewan Chamber of Commerce.

Diamonds of Detroit won the Humboldt and District award this year, while Spotlight took the honour in 2015 and was a finalist this year.

The awards will be handed out on October 21 at TCU Place in Saskatoon.
