**Charity and voluntary sector projects funded by the National Lottery are being
invited to enter The National Lottery Awards to find “the UK’s favourite Lottery-
funded charity project”.**

This year, winning projects will receive a £2,000 prize to spend on their project,
and have their achievements highlighted on a BBC1 programme later in the year.

There are seven categories in the awards covering sport, heritage, arts, environment,
voluntary/charity, health, and education. The first round of public voting will 
open 16 June, with a deadline of 4 July. A second round of public voting will take
place between 21 July and 8 August and the winners will be announced during a special
BBC1 television programme later in the year
