Nominations open for Cllr Awards 2025 ahead of ceremonies
The 2025 Cllr Awards, organised by the Local Government Information Unit (LGIU) and CCLA, celebrate the dedication and impact of councillors across England, Wales, and Scotland who have made a real difference in their communities.
Jonathan Carr-West, chief executive of LGIU, said: "LGIU is delighted to once again present the annual Cllr Awards, a celebration of the outstanding commitment and creativity shown by our locally elected officials.
"Councillors play a crucial role in the wellbeing of our communities.
"Though much of their work happens quietly behind the scenes and without fanfare, their contributions are vital."
Anyone can submit a nomination, including members of the public, fellow councillors, and council officers.
Nominations must highlight a councillor's exceptional work over the past year and how it has positively impacted their community.
The award categories include Community Champion, Leader of the Year, Young Councillor of the Year, Innovator of the Year, and Lifetime Legend.
Shortlisted candidates will be announced in the autumn.
Winners will be revealed at ceremonies in Glasgow and London on November 5 and November 18.
Nominations are open until midnight on Wednesday, June 11.
