Now is your chance to vote for the unsung heroes who strive to make a difference in their local community across Bradford.

This year we are, for the fifth time, running our Community Stars Awards, where we asked you to nominate those who went the extra mile in a variety of categories: volunteer, community group, community champion, good neighbour, fundraiser and young active citizen.

As in previous years we were delighted with the nominations that came flooding in over the summer, and the judging panel had some difficult decision to make when it came to narrowing down all the nominations to a shortlist of just three in each category.

Now we are handing over the final decision to you, the readers of the Telegraph & Argus, to decide who will receive their Bradford Medals at a glittering ceremony at City Hall on December 2.

A special supplement in the T&A on Monday, November 9 details all of the nominees and we're asking you to vote for your winners by November 30.

The shortlists for each category will also be published on our website.

Read through the stories and decide who you think best deserves to win that individual category. We know it’s a difficult job - all our shortlisted entrants, indeed all the people who were nominated, deserve recognition.

Community Champion shortlist: Radka Keselova and Zuzana Tancosova, Shahid Islam, Will Sutcliffe

Community Groups shortlist: African-Wellbeing Cafe, Face it Together, Foxhill Brass Band

Good Neighbours shortlist: Shazia Kosar, Mohammed Saddique, Paul White

Fundraiser shortlist: Stephen Houghton, Lauren Kilvington-O'Connor, Jean Peart

Volunteer shortlist: David Jessop, Olga Thompson, Arshad Zaman

Young Active Citizen shortlist: Ben Brady, Black Heritage Youth Ambassadors, Tom Walsh

We’d like to thank everyone who took the time and effort to nominate others, and while the winning medal can only go to an individual or group in each category, the people who are highlighted in this supplement represent everyone who gives their time and energy to selflessly help others, and every one of those people are true community stars.

Please have your completed entry forms back to Anna Frater at the address at the bottom of each coupon by MONDAY, NOVEMBER 30.

Only one vote per category per person, please, but you can vote in as many of the different categories as you want.
