There are 10 awards up for grabs this year including the Community Champion Award, the Champion Team award and the Sporting Champion.

The Champion School of the Year will be one which works with its wider community to improve the local area or make a difference to the lives of those living nearby. 

The Youth Champion award will be presented to a young person of high school age, who makes a significant contribution to their local community, while Little Champion of the Year will reward a primary or nursery school pupil whose achievements, courage or bravery stand out.

The Senior Champion award will go to an inspirational person aged over 60 who contributes selflessly to their community and the Health and Wellbeing Champion award recognises those who have dedicated their lives to causes which improve the life chances and opportunities of people in the city. It could be an individual or a group.

The Green Champion will be an individual or team passionate about tackling the climate crisis or improving local areas for the benefit of all, while the Arts Champion award will be presented to a musician, theatre group, singer, dancer or poet having a positive impact through projects or performances.

We want to hear about inspirational individuals and great groups in your area - who do you think deserves recognition for fantastic community work?

You can nominate anyone, from an inspirational teenager to a campaigning pensioner.
