The National Lottery Awards is open for entries.

Any organisation which has received National Lottery funding over the last 15 years can enter the competition to find the UK’s most popular lottery-funded project

Finalists, drawn from the seven categories of organisation that the Lottery funds, will feature on a BBC1 television show later in the year, after which point there will be a public vote on the favourite project.

The winner will receive an additional £2,000.

“The National Lottery Awards recognise the dedication of the people behind these amazing projects who are making a difference,” said Sally Lindsay, National Lotteruy Awards ambassador and former Coronation Street actress.
