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.
