On Monday, both Market Drayton Market and Shrewsbury's Indoor Market were shortlisted in the top 10 following a public voting phase.
More than 40,000 votes were cast between October and December as the National Association of British Market Authorities (NABMA) seeks to crown a winner of its prestigious competition, part of the Great British Market Awards that celebrate the very best of UK markets.
The news has delighted those involved with Market Drayton Market, which has come a long way over the past year.
In April last year, Shropshire Council took direct control of the indoor and outdoor markets in Market Drayton after it faced criticism from traders.
With the takeover came the appointment of manager Kate Gittins, who had been at the helm of Shrewsbury's award-winning indoor market for 18 years.
Kate has been praised by councillors for her work so far, and was thrilled when she saw the news this week.
