SIR – We are calling on the people of Bradford to nominate their favourite Lottery-funded projects for The National Lottery Awards 2010.

The awards are the annual search to find the UK’s favourite Lottery-funded projects and recognise the dedication of the people behind them.

Every week Lottery players raise £25 million for projects all across the UK, making a difference to people, places and communities. We want to hear from readers about any Lottery-funded projects that have had a positive impact on the local area, made a real difference to people’s lives or anyone who is personally involved in transforming their community with the help of Lottery funding.

The Awards have seven categories, each reflecting the main areas of Lottery funding: arts; sport; heritage; health and education; environment and voluntary and charity projects.

The projects that make it to the finals of The National Lottery Awards will appear on a star-studded prime-time BBC1 show later this year. They will also have a chance to win a £2,000 cash prize.

So if you want to see a local winner, visit lotterygoodcauses.org.uk to find out more. Entries must be received by 5pm on Friday, February 12.

Lisa Quinn, The National Lottery
