NOMINATIONS for two categories in the 2021 Newbury Town Civic Awards have been extended until Wednesday (March 3).
Anyone wishing to enter either the Young Persons Civic Award or the Environmental Contribution Civic Award categories must submit entries before the new deadline.
Newbury Town Council introduced the Newbury Town Civic Award in 1997.
More recently, the Young Persons Award, the Business Civic Award and the Environmental Contribution Civic Award have run alongside the main Civic Award.
The awards highlight the importance of those who make a difference in the community and are presented to people who have made an exceptional contribution to Newbury, and celebrate the achievements of our local community.

THE Newbury Town Civic Awards have been launched for 2021, with five categories for nominees to enter.
The awards celebrate achievements, honour volunteers and recognise those who make a difference in the community.
Newbury mayor Elizabeth O’Keeffe expressed her delight at launching all five awards: the Newbury Town Civic Award, the Young Persons Civic Award, the Newbury Town Business Civic Award, the Newbury Town Environmental Contribution Civic Award and now the special one-off Community Champions Awards for 2021.
This year, the town council has launched the new category of Community Champions Awards to honour those who have given back to the community in direct response to the Covid-19 pandemic.
