If you are Proud of Barnsley then now is your last chance to prove it.

The Chronicle has been inundated with wonderful stories about the town's unsung heroes going above and beyond to help people and about the difficult situations they have overcome.

But as Monday - the closing date for entries - draws closer, this is your final chance to nominate someone who Barnsley should be proud of.

There are 13 categories: carer of the year, charity fundraiser, children's champion, community group, exceptional achievement, new business start up, hospital hero, school of the year, triumph over adversity, volunteer of the year and young superstar.

Nominations can be submitted by post (contact the Chronicle for an entry form), by visiting the Proud of Barnsley website at www.barnsley-chronicle.co.uk/proudofbarnsley, or by e-mailing lynsey.bradford@barnsley-chronicle.co.uk

Included should be the nominee's name, address and contact details and a statement about why they are being nominated.

Please ask the person/group for permission to nominate them before putting them forward.

All entries should be received by Monday, September 8.
