The Argus: Mears logo

We want to hear who you think should be nominated for our Local Hero Award.

Each week we feature an individual who has gone out their way to help others.

It could be for an overwhelming commitment to a worthy cause, a heroic act which showcased a person’s selflessness and bravery or someone who regularly goes the extra mile, thinking only of others.

Every Saturday we feature that week’s winner, who receive champagne and chocolates or a £30 Amazon voucher.

They are also automatically shortlisted for the Local Hero category of the Argus Achievement Awards.

We would like to thank Mears for kindly sponsoring this year's award.

All those nominated for this award will appear below as they are received so make sure to get your nominations in and keep visiting the site for updates

Award winners will be announced at a glitzy awards night held at Theatre Royal Brighton hosted by newsreader Nicholas Owen in October.
