Who can enter?
Anyone can submit a nomination, but nominees must Dunfermline or West Fife based.
Why should I enter?
By putting forward an individual, group or business for an award, you are helping the Dunfermline Press and Central Fife Times recognise the unsung heroes who are making a difference in communities. Those who have been shortlisted or won an award in the past have found it be a very special honour.
How do I enter?
You must complete our entry form to submit a nomination. Head to the ‘How to Enter’ section above for instructions.
Can I enter more than one category?
You can submit as many nominations as you like across the 11 different categories. The categories and the criteria for each can be found in the ‘Categories’ section above.
What is the deadline for entries?
The entry deadline is Thursday, May 4 at 6pm.
How much does it cost?
It is free to enter the awards and all finalists will receive one free ticket to attend the ceremony (or two free tickets if aged under 16).
Additional tickets to the ceremony are priced at £50 for adults and £25 for under 16’s.
What happens next one I’ve entered?
Once you have submitted an entry, we will add your nomination to the judging pack for consideration. Once the judging has taken place, we will contact you to let you know if your entry has been shortlisted or not.
How does the judging process work?
All the entries we receive will be considered by our judging panel at the judging session in April. Please note that the shortlist and winners are decided solely by our panel and do not come down to a public vote or number of nominations received.
When will the shortlist be announced?
The shortlist will be listed in the Dunfermline Press, Central Fife Times and on this website in mid-May.
When will the winners be announced?
The winners will be announced at our glittering awards ceremony on Thursday, June 15 at the Glen Pavilion. More information on the event and tickets can be found in the ‘The Awards Ceremony’ section below.
What do I do if I have more questions?
We are happy to answer any additional questions you may have regarding the entry process or event. Please contact Head of Events, Nina Holmes on 07500 998 357 or nina.holmes@newsquest.co.uk with all enquires.
