The National Lottery Awards recognise the difference that Lottery-funded projects have made to people, places and communities all across the UK. They also celebrate the talent, hard work and dedication of the people involved in running them.

Individuals and small groups of people that work or act for a National Lottery funded organisation or have received National Lottery funding can be nominated for an award.

Award categories:

• Community and Charity
• Arts, Culture and Film
• Heritage
• Sport
• Environment
• Young Hero (under 25s)

The winner from each award category will receive a £5,000 prize along with their National Lottery Awards trophy.

Nominations for the National Lottery Awards are open until 12pm on 16 May 2023.
