We all know a hero, they can be found in all walks of life, from community leaders and volunteers to business owners and educators. They are the ones who work tirelessly to make our community a better place, often without recognition or fanfare.
This is about to change!
Yorkshire has been nominating its local heroes for several months now, and an independent panel of adjudicators has finished evaluating the nominees put forward. A task that is not easy to accomplish.
The official announcement will be made on February 3rd, as the nominees who have been selected for the public vote will be notified via email with some exciting news!
"We are excited to recognise the hard work and dedication of these local heroes," said Jo Maltby and Melanie Malcolm, Co-founders of the Awards. "The nominees truly represent the best of Yorkshire, and we are thrilled for the public to have the opportunity to vote for their favourites. The public vote will go live on 4th February and Yorkshire has the power to decide who will win.”
Co-host Christa Ackroyd along with Christine Talbot, Duncan Wood, Tim Bilton, Stephanie Hirst and Lizzie Jones MBE are just some of the Yorkshire celebrity hosts presenting awards with more set to confirm in the coming weeks.
Tim Bilton said, “What a huge honour it will be to attend”.
