OUR town is full of wonderful people who go that extra mile in whatever they do.

Whether it’s helping to keep a local park tidy, caring for an elderly relative or neighbour, of having overcome adversity themselves.

We’re not short of decent people and think they deserve some recognition.

If you know someone who fits into any of the following categories, then you must nominate them today.

There are 14 categories: Young Superstar, School of the Year, Children’s Champion, Carer of the Year, Start-up of the Year, Community Group, Hospital Hero, Community Hero, Triumph Over Adversity, Sporting Achievement, Love Where You Live, Charity Fundraiser, Volunteer of the Year and Exceptional Achievement.

*This year there is an additional category - The Charity Fundraising Team.

Entries are now open, and there are a couple of ways to submit nominations.

You can e-mail your nominations to lynsey.bradford@barnsley-chronicle.co.uk - please include your name, address and phone number.

Please also include the name, address and phone number of the person you are nominating, the category you are nominating them in and why.

Alternatively you can go to www.barnsley-chronicle.co.uk and fill out the online entry form.

Paper copies of the entry form can be picked up in the Barnsley Chronicle reception.

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