TIME is running out to nominate your Glasgow heroes for this year’s Community Champion Awards.
The closing date for entries is Thursday, September 12 – so if you know of someone deserving, tell us about them now.
The Glasgow Community Champion Awards, organised by the Glasgow Times and supported by Glasgow City Council and Allied Vehicles Charitable Trust, hails the unsung heroes improving lives around the city.
We want to hear who you think deserves recognition for the work they do for their community.
It could be your local sports club, a neighbour, a friend, or someone in your own family.
If you know of someone making a difference, please get in touch.
There are 10 awards up for grabs this year including Community Champion, Champion Team, Sporting Champion, Champion School of the Year, Youth Champion, for teens, Senior Champion, for over-60s, and Health and Wellbeing Champion.

We have also introduced three new prizes for 2024 – Little Champion, for children under the age of 13 whose courage, triumph over adversity or desire to help others make them stand out in their community; Environmental Champion, for an individual or team passionate about tackling the climate crisis and loss of biodiversity, and improving local areas for the benefit of all; and Arts Champion, for a musician, theatre group, singer, dancer or poet having a positive impact through projects or performances.
You can nominate anyone, simply tell us why they should win and remember to include lots of detail and photographs to support your entry.

A shortlist will go to a public online vote to determine the winners in each area – North East, North West and South - who will then progress to the grand final at Glasgow City Chambers on December 4.
A judging panel made up of representatives from the award partners will decide the Grand Final winners.
