Discover Ashfield Awards 2025 – now open
Now is the time to nominate community heroes to get the recognition they deserve at the Discover Ashfield Awards 2025.
The awards, now in their sixth year, celebrate the fantastic people, organisations and businesses within Ashfield and their achievements over the past 12 months.
Discover Ashfield, alongside Ashfield District Council, is looking for people to nominate their community champions, businesses that go that extra mile and projects that make a real difference.
The awards have grown each year and 2025 will be no exception. There are 11 categories up for grabs recognising all that is amazing across the District.
The full details of each category and how to nominate can be found on the Council’s website.
The categories for this year are:
- Outstanding Organisation
- Phenomenal Project
- Community Champion
- Place to Visit
- Business of the Year
- Brilliant Start-Up Business
- Best High Street Business
- Best Skills Provider
- Best Employment Support Provider
- Made in Ashfield (Young Person Award)
- Made in Ashfield (Teacher/Mentor Award)
Cllr Matthew Relf, Executive Lead Member for Growth, Regeneration and Local Planning, said:
“All across Ashfield are individuals, organisations and businesses who go above and beyond for their communities but don’t receive the recognition they deserve. The annual Discover Ashfield awards are a great opportunity to shout about these great news stories so we can celebrate their great work.
“So if you know an individual, organisation or business that you think should be celebrated then please nominate them so we can thank these wonderful local heroes at this amazing event.”
Nominations are now open and need to be received by Friday 10 October.
The winners will be announced at a glittering award ceremony to be hosted early next year.
