Video submissions

This year, we are trialling the option to submit a video entry in place of a written nomination. In your video, you only need to answer, ‘why is the nominee a local hero?’ – you can just put N/A in the text box above, but please fill out the rest of the form.

Videos should be a maximum of five minutes in length and address the same points as outlined for a written nomination. Videos are not compulsory – it is up to you whether you want to submit your nomination as a video or in writing.

There are several ways you can share your video:

We recommend uploading your video to a video hosting platform like YouTube or Vimeo and including the link in the text box above. While the video is uploading, you can set the privacy settings to "Unlisted" so only those with the link can view the video. Alternatively, you can email an MP4 file to [email protected] via Dropbox, Google Drive, WeTransfer or other appropriate platform.
