THE deadline for nominations for the Mayor's Community Awards in Darlington is days away.
People wanting to nominate a voluntary worker or community group have until Wednesday to submit entries.
The scheme, previously known as the Citizen of the Year award, honours people who have made a significant contribution in their community, or have worked for good causes. Community groups can also be nominated.
The winners of the award, which is sponsored by The Northern Echo, will be selected by a panel of judges and announced on Wednesday, May 7.
The overall winner will receive a trophy to keep for a year and two cheques for £100, one from the Mayor's Charity Fund and one from The Northern Echo.
All entrants receive certificates to acknowledge their nominations.
To enter, cut out the entry form in today's Northern Echo and send it to the address at the bottom of the form.
