The final call has been made for nominations for the Ceredigion business and community awards.
Businesses, community projects, and entrepreneurs in Ceredigion have until November 13 to submit their entries for the Gwobrau Caru Ceredigion Awards 2024.
The awards will recognise the exceptional contributions and achievements of businesses, community projects, and individuals across the county.
There are 12 categories, including innovations in the community, young entrepreneurs, the tourist industry, successful events, and businesses that support the Welsh language.
Councillor Clive Davies, Ceredigion’s cabinet member responsible for economy and regeneration, said: "We are thrilled with the incredible response and the high calibre of entries we've received so far.
"The county is home to some outstanding businesses, young entrepreneurs, and vibrant community projects, and these awards provide a fantastic platform to celebrate the remarkable work being done.
"I’d strongly encourage groups to consider entering, or nominate someone they believe is deserving, as this is a wonderful opportunity to recognise and celebrate excellence in Ceredigion."
The awards are being organised by Cynnal y Cardi under the Caru Ceredigion banner.
Caru Ceredigion is a community-driven campaign aimed at fostering a sense of pride in the county, while encouraging people to take part in activities that enhance the environment, support local businesses, and strengthen the community.
Cynnal y Cardi, funded through the UK Shared Prosperity Fund, works to help boost the economy and tackle some of the challenges faced by people and enterprises, focusing on developing opportunities to help the economy grow and thrive.
The full list of eligible categories and criteria can be found on the Ceredigion County Council website.
Judging will take place in November by a panel of expert judges, with a shortlist announced ahead of the winners being unveiled at a ceremony on December 12.
