Nominations for the 2025 Love Barrow Awards are now open.
The 20th edition of the awards will recognise people and community groups that go the extra mile to give back to the South Lakes area.
The ceremony will be held at The Forum in Barrow-in-Furness on March 7, 2025.
Community members have until September 13 to nominate their heroes at https://tinyurl.com/3c599tmj.
The 2024 Love Barrow Awards drew a record number of more than 500 nominations, split between eight categories.
Three finalists were chosen in each class, culminating in a grand celebration evening.
DT Guest, chair of the Love Barrow Awards committee, said: "Although the awards evening is 9 months away, planning is already underway to make the 2025 awards bigger and better than ever before.
"Nominations are now open, and we want to build further on the success of the previous years.
"This year we would love to see even more nominations that recognise those people who really do help others in our community.
"The 2025 awards will recognise the impact and contribution to the Furness Peninsula that some of the previous 20 years finalists have had as well as turn the spotlight on our community superstars of the last 12 months.''
