Entries are via an online form, which can also be downloaded and emailed, or through an audio or video nomination, uploaded via the BBC’s online tool. Full information is available on the BBC’s Get Inspired webpage.
The deadline for entries is midnight on 21 October. A shortlist will then be drawn up and 15 regional winners chosen. These will go forward for the national award, to be chosen by panel of media and sporting professionals.
Last year’s award was won by Hinkley volunteer Denise Shannon, who runs a variety of clubs including walking, running, and general fitness clubs.
