Welcome to The National Lottery Awards
Deadline for entries extended to 19 February at 5pm
The National Lottery Awards are an annual search to find the UK's favourite Lottery-funded projects. Now in their seventh year, the Awards celebrate Lottery-funded projects large and small, from all over the UK. It's your chance to tell your story and celebrate the hard work, dedication and achievement of your Lottery-funded project.
These pages will tell you everything you need to know about The National Lottery Awards, including how to enter, details about the Awards process and information on last year's winners.
Watch the video below to see backstage footage from The National Lottery Awards 2009, where last year's winners were announced.

Here's what last year's winners had to say:
"Being part of the Awards has
enabled our project to be recognised on a national platform and I would
encourage Northern Ireland projects to enter." Beragh Red Knights Community
Sports Pavilion, 2009 winner
"Being
part of last year's Awards enabled our project to be recognised on a
national level, which helped to boost our plans to expand across the
country. I would really recommend that other Lottery-funded projects
enter, as it's a great opportunity."
