Huddersfield Daily Examiner

Last chance to nominate your heroes

- By MARTIN SHAW martin.shaw@reachplc.com @MartinShaw­WRNS

IT’S not too late – but this is the final call for entries for the Examiner Community Awards 2020 in associatio­n with Syngenta.

It’s one of Huddersfie­ld’s most emotional and inspiratio­nal nights – and now’s your last chance to nominate those special people in your community.

It’s the Examiner’s annual search for local shining stars, those unsung heroes and heroines who go above and beyond often without thanks or reward.

These special people are nominated by you and the winners will be honoured at the awards ceremony at the John Smith’s Stadium on Thursday, May 21.

Examiner editor Wayne Ankers said: “This year is a milestone for the Examiner Community Awards – it’s our 21st year.

“It is amazing to think that it’s two decades and in my time at the Examiner it’s been an honour and a privilege to meet so many deserving people who would otherwise go unrecognis­ed.

“There is such incredible work that goes on in Huddersfie­ld and so many selfless people who just want to help others.

“It’s humbling to know that in some small way we can say thank you to the people who make Huddersfie­ld such a fabulous place to live.

“Community awards nights is one of my favourite nights of the year – and it’s sure to be emotional.

“It only takes a few minutes so please take the time to nominate someone to give them the recognitio­n they deserve.”

The entries have been flooding in for this year’s awards, but there is still time to nominate the people who make you proud before the deadline on Friday, February 28.

Carl Sykes, from sponsors Syngenta, said: “Syngenta is very proud to continue our support of the 2020 Examiner Community Awards.

“Our work at Syngenta helps farmers all over the world to grow higher yields from their crops and the Examiner Community Awards are a prestigiou­s occasion which recognise the dedication of local people who go the extra mile and ask for nothing in return.

“We appeal to all local leaders, community groups and volunteers to nominate the people that they believe deserve recognitio­n as champions in our communitie­s.

“Your nomination could just be the platform you need.”
