Hurry! There’s one day left to nominate a hero for our awards

This is your last chance to nominate a hero for our YorkMix Hero Awards.

If you know someone in your local area that you want to say thank you to and deserves some recognition for making life better where you live – why not nominate them in our Hero Awards?

You’ve not gone long left – as entries close on Friday 6 October at 23:59:00.

Do you know someone who’s gone above and beyond in advocating for the environment? Or someone who has demonstrated an incredible act of bravery? How about someone who has beaten the odds even in the face of adversity?

Once entries are closed, shortlisted finalists will then be selected by a panel of judges before being announced on Monday 9 October.

There are 11 categories open for nomination.

This year’s categories are:

• The Best Boss Award
• The New Business of the Year Award, with Taylor’s of Acomb
• The Environmental Hero Award, with Latimer Homes
• The Outstanding Bravery Award, with White Rose Finance
• The Educator of the Year Award, with York Sport
• The Incredible Child Award, with The Fancy Dance Shop
• The “In the Face of Adversity” Award with Matt Gray Hospitality
• The Outstanding Talent Award with Craybakes
• The Charity Fundraiser of the Year Award with Middletons York
• The Neighbour of the Year Award, with Hayley Owen
• The Parent or Guardian of the Year Award

A 12th category, the People’s Choice Award for Charitable Person of the Year, will be open for public vote nearer the date of the awards ceremony.

The award ceremony will then take place at York Racecourse on Thursday 26 October.
