**The Guardian Charity Awards are open for entries from small and medium-sized charities
and entries close on 5 August 2015.**

The judges will be looking for charitable projects “that are innovative, which promote
best practice, and which comprise elements that can be replicated by other charities”.

To be eligible charities must have been registered in the UK for at least two years,
and have had an annual income in 2014 of between £5,000 and £1.5 million. Only one
entry per charity is accepted.
