Individuals and groups can be nominated for the Bobby Le Vasseur Memorial Award for dedicated service, the Triumph Over Adversity Award and the Jan Renouf Memorial Award for outstanding contribution to the community.

It is the first year that Guernsey Electricity managing director Alan Bates will be involved in selecting the winners.
