The TalkTalk Digital Heroes Awards are open for nominations with the aim of recognising
people who harness digital tools to bring about positive social change.

Run in association with Citizens Online and The Mirror and backed by Go ON UK, this
is the eighth year in which TalkTalk has championed people who use technology for
good.

Each Digital Hero selected receives £5,000 and the overall Digital Hero will receive
£10,000. The winners will all have their work showcased to politicians and leading
figures in technology at a ceremony at the House of Commons.
