County Times launches 2014 Community Awards

What about a phenomenal sportsperson, inspiring fundraiser, or a true local hero?

Now you have the chance to recognise these people with the launch of the 2014 County Times Community Awards - and there is an entirely new way to nominate a deserving person or group.

The annual awards ceremony, held at the Capitol, is always a celebration of what makes the Horsham district such a fantastic place to live and work.

Last year’s event saw laughter, joy and tears as dozens of community champions were celebrated, while last month’s inaugural County Times Youth Awards honoured some of the Horsham district’s wonderful young people.

This year’s Community Awards, to be held on Tuesday November 18, promises to continue with the heartwarming community theme.

There are 16 categories to choose from - ranging from Friend of the Environment to Charity of the Year, and from the 999 Award to the Special Recognition Award.

To nominate, complete the nomination form in today’s County Times (Thursday July 24), or through our new online form.

To access the form, simply click here.

There are no limitations for the number of categories you can nominate a deserving person or group for, and please add to the nomination form by telling us on another piece of paper why you think they should win.

Last year’s winners will be profiled in forthcoming editions of the County Times, as part of our countdown to this year’s awards ceremony.
