Lincolnshire County Council is encouraging residents to nominate those who work hard within their community for the Good Citizens Awards 2012.
The annual awards are a way of recognising the people who work voluntarily within communities in Lincolnshire who may otherwise not be commended.
This could range from an individual or group that voluntarily cares for the elderly, disabled or disadvantaged to a charity fundraiser or help youths.
Councillor Robert Palmer, vice-chairman of Lincolnshire County Council, said: “It’s your chance to honour those extraordinary people whose voluntary contributions make noticeable differences to people throughout Lincolnshire.
“Of course, they don’t do it for reward. But the hugely positive impact they have on people’s lives should be recognised.
“I urge everyone to nominate their Good Citizen for 2012.”
There are three different categories for the awards: Citizen of the Year, Young Citizen of the Year (aged 16 or below), and Community Group of the Year.
Nominations can be made using the online form on the County Council’s website, or send details of the person you are nominating and why to Good Citizens Awards, Lincolnshire County Council, FREEPOST DC1082, Lincoln, LN1 1BR.

Snooker can be a lonely and brutal sport, but that strive for perfection is what keeps Lincoln’s Steven Hallworth — the city’s only player to reach the professional level — coming back to the table, even when the angles are tight.
It’s been a whirlwind career for Steven Hallworth, Lincoln’s first and only snooker player to ever reach the professional stage.
In the world of art, where creativity knows no bounds, chainsaw wood sculpting stands out as a thrilling blend of danger and beauty. Imagine wielding a roaring chainsaw, not to fell trees, but to carve them into stunning works of art. This is not your average hobby; it’s an adrenaline-fueled artistic adventure that dates back to the 1950s.
Chainsaw sculpting transforms ordinary wood into extraordinary masterpieces, pushing the limits of what’s possible with a tool more commonly associated with lumberjacking. But this is no rough-and-tumble trade; it’s a craft requiring precision, skill, and a steady hand, where the risk only heightens the allure.
