RESIDENTS have a last chance to nominate their favourite Lottery-funded project.

The National Lottery is encouraging all projects in Dudley and the thousands like them across the UK that have received Lottery funding in the past 15 years, to enter the Awards and gain recognition for their work in The National Lottery Awards 2010.

However, time is running out as all completed entries must be in by 5pm on Friday, February 19. Former Coronation Street actress, Sally Lindsay, who is supporting the awards, said: “The deadline for entries is drawing closer so if a Lottery-funded project has had a positive impact on your local area, made a real difference to your life or if you are personally involved with a project that is transforming your community with the help of Lottery funding, then now is your last chance to nominate.”

The entrants that make it to the finals of The National Lottery Awards will appear on a star-studded prime-time BBC1 TV show later this year, as well as having the chance to win a £2,000 cash prize.

The Awards have seven categories - each reflecting an area of Lottery funding - Sport, Heritage, Arts, Environment, Voluntary/Charity (in association with Woman magazine), Health and Education.
