THE deadline to put people forward for a Pride of Bracknell Forest award is fast approaching, but have no fear! We have a step-by-step guide on how to enter a sparkling nomination right here.

Now in their 11th year, the awards are bigger and better than ever and culminate in a glittering awards ceremony right here in Bracknell on Friday, April 29. 

Shortlisted nominees, decided by a judging panel on April 13, will be invited to the ceremony and treated to a three-course meal and special dance performances, all hosted by Reading FC legend Ady Williams. 

The award winners are the real stars of the night and will be rightly honoured throughout the course of the night to highlight their achievements and tell their stories.
