The LGIU & CCLA Cllr Awards are the only national Awards to recognise and honour the hard work and dedication of councillors. We are delighted to provide a platform to celebrate the vital contributions that these heroes of our local democracy make to communities and the lives of residents across England, Wales and Scotland.

Want to make a nomination? Click on the nomination form below. You will be asked to provide information for the following three questions:

Q1. Tell us more about your nominated councillor. You might like to give some background to their life, their roles within the council, how long they have served on the council, how you came to know them, etc. (200 words)

Q2. Why does your nominated councillor deserve to win in this particular category? What makes this councillor stand out? Be specific and give vivid, concrete examples. (200 words – explore the category criteria.)

Q3. Describe a project or projects that your nominated councillor has led that have a positive impact on the community. Be specific about their role within this project and how their contribution led to success as it relates to this category. Provide evidence/links if possible. (200 words)

Successful nominations will be at least one paragraph and refrain from answering ‘see above’. We request that nominations are the original thoughts, words and experiences of the nominator.

All nominations are confidential and processed in accordance with our Cllr Awards privacy notice.
