VOTES are pouring in for the 2024 Glasgow Community Champion Awards.
With just over a week until the poll closes, make sure you do not miss out on the chance to support your local heroes.
The Glasgow Times awards, in association with Glasgow City Council, Allied Vehicles Charitable Trust and St Enoch Centre, celebrate everything that is great about the city and its people.
Once again, our readers will have a say in who triumphs in each category in the north west, north east and south areas.
This year, there are four categories where entries will be judged on a citywide basis (Little Champion, Youth Champion, Senior Champion and Sport Champion.)
It is free to cast your vote and voting closes on October 30. The winners of each heat will go through to a final judging session, and will be announced at the Grand Final at the City Chambers on December 5.
You can vote online here at https://www.glasgowtimes.co.uk/community-champion-awards/
