You can nominate a person or group for the 2024 awardsThe nominations will stay open until the end of February 2024. A list of the categories can be found on the nominations page before you start your entry.

Performers

In previous years we have had performances during the night from local dancers, singers, school choirs, even a skipping group. We are always keen to get local performers involved throughout the night. If you are involved with a group who would like to be on stage with us at the next event, please email us with a short description of who you are and what you do. Video links will also help the organisers better understand your performance.
