The awards shine a light on the Lottery-funded organisations changing communities and transforming lives. Over 370,000 National Lottery grants have been awarded since 1994. There are literally thousands of Lottery-funded projects across the UK deserving of recognition.

Projects making it to the final of the awards will be recognised at a star-studded event broadcast on BBC One in the autumn. Over 3 million people tuned in to watch the show last year. They will also have a chance to win a £2,000 cash prize.

The deadline is Monday, March 12th. So we urgently want to hear from anyone that knows of a local National Lottery-funded project that deserves some recognition.
