Guidance and tips for a good nomination

We’ve kept the nomination form short and simple, so you can focus on telling us the organisation's story. 

 

We think a good nomination will:

  • Clearly explain what the organisation does and why it matters,
  • Use stories and statistics to show the organidsation's impact,
  • Link the organisation's work to the award category and highlight what sets it apart.

For more tips, visit the Locality Awards '25 page, where you’ll find guidance on writing a strong nomination.

 

If you’d like some personalised support, our experienced Membership Team is here to help. Email us at membership@locality.org.uk with a copy of your nomination and we'll be happy to offer feedback. But don’t leave it too late! Support is available only until 27 June, and demand will be high.
