Sunday Times Social Entrepreneur of the Year competition
13 March 2012

The competition is calling for you to nominate inspirational social entrepreneurs (including yourself) who are running a project or organisation that is making a significant positive impact on the world around them by tackling or helping to reduce one or more social problems. It could be a person who runs an educational club, which takes young people off the streets and gives them a constructive and positive hobby or someone helping to provide local healthy food for the community by running communal gardens. In short we want to celebrate amazing and inspiring individuals who are coming up with innovative and enterprising solutions to tackle problems.

The winner of the competition will be featured in an interview in the Sunday Times newspaper, be showcased in a special episode of UK360 on Community Channel, a programme dedicated to sharing the most inspiring local stories from across the UK, will receive a raft of advice from communications professionals at the Sunday Times and be given a grant of £500 to further their work through digital media.

The Community Channel is a national TV station which has been running for over 15 years and is dedicated to untold and inspiring stories from charities and communities across the UK. Media Trust who own the Community Channel are a media charity and work to give people a voice and amplify the work of young people, charities and marginalised communities across the UK.  Media Trust's trustees include Mark Thompson (BBC), Sophie Turner Laing (Sky), Jon Snow and Matt Brittin (Google). Celebrity ambassadors we have worked with in the past include: Sir Trevor McDonald, Jesse J, Diana Vickers, Dizzee Rascal, Russell Brand, Martha Kearney, Adam Boulton, Jenson Button, Jon Snow and Miquita Oliver.
