THE Glasgow Times has been nominated in several categories for awards at both the Scottish and Regional Press Awards.
The newspaper will compete for top awards at the two ceremonies which take place later this year.
At the Scottish Press Awards, we will compete in the News Website of the Year category.
The title is also in the running for Front Page of the Year at the Regional Press Awards for a special we ran to recognise true Glasgow heroes.

Last year, the newspaper championed those who went that extra mile for others during the coronavirus pandemic from the taxi drivers who kept the city moving to the nurses on the frontline caring for those battling Covid-19. We then printed all their names on the front to say thank you and this front page has now been nominated for an award.
Our Give our OAPs a Shot will also compete in the Campaign of the Year category at the Regional Press Awards. Headed up by our senior reporter Maxine McArthur, the Glasgow Times called on health boards across Scotland to end delays for the vital flu jab and ensure the most vulnerable were vaccinated immediately. The campaign was also nominated at the Scottish Press Awards.
While our Times Past section printed every Wednesday will compete in Supplement of the Year. Packed with Glasgow nostalgia, this special section of the newspaper includes our crime stories series and readers memories. It is a trip down memory lane for many of our readers who want to remember just how great the city was and still is.
Journalists Jack Aitchison, above, Jack Haugh and Catriona Stewart have also been nominated for awards. Jack, who is now the digital editor at our sister title The Herald, will compete in the Young Journalist of the Year and Digital Live News Reporter of the Year categories while our chief reporter Catriona has been nominated for a Reporting Communities Award at the Regional Press Awards.
At the Scottish Press Awards, Jack has been nominated for Best Coverage of a Live Event and Young Journalist of the Year. While Jack Haugh has been nominated for Local Feature Writer of the Year.
Finally, the Glasgow Times has been nominated for Social Media Team of the Year at the Regional Press Awards.
Assistant editor Stacey Mullen, said: "I am delighted about the nominations the Glasgow Times has received at both the Scottish and Regional Press Awards.
"Our team of journalists continued to work hard through a pandemic to bring the news first to the Glasgow communities they serve - and it is fantastic to see them receive the recognition they deserve."
The Regional Press Award winners will be announced on September 16. The Scottish Press Awards take place on September 29.
