Community content deputy editor Kelly Brown said: “It’s come around quickly, but we are all thoroughly looking forward to our special awards night at Bognor Butlin’s on December 12, again hosted by the brilliant Fred Dinenage, where all the winners will be announced.

“It will be down to you, the readers, to cast your vote, but before then we are still looking for entries in every category.

“So if you know a person or group that really deserves to be recognised, don’t delay, get your nominations off now.”

You can email nominations to [email protected] - please include a brief description on why you are putting them forward, along with contact details for the nominee and yourself.
