The York Community Pride Awards have returned for 2025. Hosted by YO1 Radio's Claire Pulpher, it will come to York Racecourse on September 11.
Nominations for 11 wide-ranging categories are now open - they close on Friday, June 6.
Last year saw the manager of York's Salvation Army - Charlie Malarkey - win the flagship Outstanding Contribution Award.
His dedication to helping rough sleepers in the city over the past 17 years made him a perfect candidate to be celebrated at the awards night.
Nigel Burton, editor of The Press, said: "The Community Pride Awards celebrate those who make the world a better place without seeking thanks or praise.
"People who give their time, whether professionally or through volunteering, are the individuals these awards aim to recognise, providing them a moment in the spotlight for the rest of us to say thank you.
"These are the individuals at the heart of our community.
"We are excited to read those inspiring stories and share them with you in the weeks to come."
