Anyone who hasn’t yet put forward their nominations for the Kingdom FM Local Hero Awards is being urged to do so now.
The nominations for the ninth annual awards ceremony, again co-sponsored by The Courier, close on Saturday April 30.
Kingdom FM station manager Darren Stenhouse said: “There’s been a superb response from Fifers so far.
“Nominations are on par with the volume of nominations around this time last year but it’s important that if any Courier readers are thinking about nominating that they do nominate.
“Don’t let your local hero miss out on a nomination because you think that your nomination doesn’t count – it does!
“The independent judging panel are looking forward to reading all of the nominations and judging gets under way in early May 2016.
“From my perspective, the key point to get across is ‘nominate now’. I’d love to see a flurry of new nominations!”
The 2016 awards were officially launched in February, with a glitzy awards night set to take place in the Rothes Halls in Glenrothes at the end of August.
Mr Stenhouse said the award ceremony promises to be the “best yet with brilliant, world class, entertainment for our nominees and invited guests already confirmed.”
The main sponsors this year are The Courier, Paint Tec, FMC Technologies, Pentland Land Rover Cupar, DPS Group, Forth Ports and Owen Buchanan Builders and Skips.
In addition to the main sponsors, a total of 16 individual categories are also sponsored this year.
The categories (and sponsors) are child of achievement (Skene Group); student/apprentice of the year (Fife College); Provost Award (Fife Council/The Provost); sports person of the year (Police Scotland); fundraiser of the year (Ceramic Tile Warehouse); Mary Leishman award (Mary Leishman); best school (MKM Building Supplies); new business start-up (Business Gateway); best visitor attraction (Abbeyford Leisure); carer of the year (Abbotsford Care Group); volunteering (Cadham Pharmacy); employee of the year (DP Source); best community (Diageo); green initiative (St Andrews University); best neighbour (Delmor Independent Estate Agents) and Kingdom Kid Award (Thorntons Law).
