The biggest-ever Lottery grant decided by public vote got underway yesterday as 
online voting began in the Big Lottery Fund’s ‘The People’s £50 Million’ contest
which is giving people across the UK the chance to decide which big project will
be awarded a Lottery grant of up to £50 million.
The public are being given the 
opportunity to back their favourite of the four projects in the running: Black Country
as Urban Park, The Edge at the Eden Project, Sherwood The Living Legend and Sustrans’
Connect2, via the website.

To help people decide which project to give their vote to, the website also includes
detailed information about the schemes, videos of their celebrity supporters, discussion
forums and the latest news from the projects. Voting closes 12 noon, Monday 10th
December 2007.

You can view the launch of the Awards, with presentations from the four finalist
projects.
