Voting opens in 2011 National Lottery Awards
Howard Lake | 1 June 2011 | News
Seventy Lottery-funded projects from across the UK have been named as semi-finalists in this year’s National Lottery Awards, the annual search to find the UK’s favourite Lottery-funded projects.
Each semi-finalist has been shortlisted for the positive difference they have made with their Lottery money. The public is now invited to vote for their favourites until 20 June.
There are seven categories in the Awards each reflecting the main areas of Lottery funding: arts; sport; heritage; health; environment, education, charity and voluntary. The winning project in each of the categories will receive national recognition at an event later this year, broadcast on BBC One, as well as a £2,000 cash prize to spend on their project.
The three projects in each category with the highest number of votes will go through to the final round of public voting later this summer.
