Nominations are now being sought for the 2021 Barnet Civic Awards.

The awards are now in their 21st year and are an opportunity for the borough to officially recognise the commitment and hard work of those who strive to make a positive difference to the lives of others.

The awards have become increasingly popular and this year we have four categories for you to make your nominations.

Each nomination will be reviewed by a judging panel and winners will be presented with their award by the Mayor in March 2021.
