There are again 10 awards to be won, including our most coveted AllStars Star of the Year award. Instead of emailing us with your nominations, this year we have a straightforward online form to fill in (see below). Nominations must reach us by the end of October.

The Fylde coast has a proud record of developing outstanding sporting talents, who have gone on to shine on the national and international stage, and an AllStars Award could be the first stepping stone to worldwide glory.

As usual we will assemble a panel of judges to assess your nominations and you can nominate candidates in as many categories as you like.

Each nomination should contain a description (no more than 100 words please) of the nominated individual/team’s efforts/achievements and include reasons for the nomination. Nominations must be based on activities in 2016. Nominees must live in Blackpool, Fylde or Wyre or represent a school, team or organisation in one of those boroughs.
