The Barclays Community Sports Award nominations have now closed for the 2011/12 season.
The award aims to recognise the outstanding achievements of individuals that use sport to benefit communities across the UK.
The accolade is awarded each month during the Barclays Premier League football season alongside those for Barclays Player and Manager of the Month, to highlight the great efforts being made by many in community sport. The award is open to any individual benefiting their community in any sport.
Each monthly winner receives £1,000 for their group or organisation, a limited edition trophy and is entered into the end of season award to win a further £5,000, all donated by Barclays Spaces for Sports. The end of season award winner also receives a VIP trip to London to receive their award from Gareth Southgate.
Former England footballer Gareth Southgate heads up the judging panel which saw a new panel member added for the 2011/12 season - Ashling O' Connor (The Times, Olympics Correspondent).
The award is being delivered in partnership between Barclays Spaces for Sports, the Premier League’s Creating Chances programme and the Football Foundation.
