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.
