Last chance to nominate a local hero in Fife

The deadline for all nominations for the 2018 Kingdom FM Local hero awards is April 30.

There are 13 categories which cover everything from sport to the arts, and they honour Fifers and groups who have made a significant contribution to the region - or gone the extra mile to help.

This year’s event - the 11th annual awards - has the Fife Free Press Group as its media partners.

All the winners will be revealed at a gala dinner at Rothes Halls, Glenrothes, on August 31.

Over the last 11 years, Kingdom FM Local Hero Awards have received tens of thousands of nominations.

Some 420 Fifers have been shortlisted and celebrated for their selfless work in our schools, workplaces, communities and homes.

And the winners have come from towns and villages across the Kingdom.

Now you have just a few days left to add more names to those glittering rolls of honour.

The door is open for YOU to nominate the people who will receive this year’s awards.

‘‘I’m always hugely impressed by the quality of nominations and I’m proud that Kingdom FM is able to celebrate those people  who really put Fife on the map.”
