Applications and nominations will be accepted via the Stoves website and should 
explain in no more than 300 words why the initiative deserves to win. A shortlist
will be drawn up and then put to the public vote.

Denver Hewlett, Chief Executive of Stoves, said:

> “We wanted to launch a campaign which would make the kitchen the hub of the local
> community and give deserving projects access to the latest appliances. Nominated
> projects could include initiatives such as the refit of a village hall kitchen,
> community centre, women’s refuge or a cookery school. Whatever it is, we want 
> to hear about it.”
