There is one month remaining to nominate councillors for the 2024 Cllr Awards.
The annual ceremony, now in its 15th year, is the only national award recognising the exceptional contributions of councillors across England, Wales, and Scotland.
The awards are organised by the Local Government Information Unit (LGIU) and CCLA.
There are five categories: Community Champion, Leader of the Year, Young Councillor of the Year, Innovator of the Year, and Lifetime Legend.
The deadline for nominations is Friday, September 13, with the winners to be announced in November at ceremonies in London and Edinburgh.
Nominations can be submitted free of charge by fellow councillors, council officers, or the public.
Jonathan Carr-West, chief executive of LGIU, said that the LGIU is proud to once again host the annual Cllr Awards, paying tribute to locally elected representatives.
He said: "We anticipate a wave of nominations this year and look forward to hearing the remarkable stories behind them."
