CORNWALL Sports Partnership is inviting nominations for the Cornwall Sports Awards 2007 which will be staged at the Burrell Theatre, Truro School on June 6.

This prestigious event, staged for the first time in 2006, has been designed to recognise and honour the contributions made by dedicated sports coaches, officials, clubs, volunteers and young leaders from across the county.

The five categories incorporate 18 separate awards which include club of the year, coach of the year and lifetime services to sport. The awards will be presented by well known local sports celebrities and representatives Sport England.

This year's ceremony has been designed to build the success of last year's inaugural event. "This is a wonderful opportunity to celebrate the successes of sports, clubs, coaches and volunteers throughout the county," said Natasha Sandoe, club development officer.

"Anyone can make a nomination, with no limit on the number of nominations that can be made by an organisation or an individual, although clubs or individuals must be based in Cornwall."

Nomination forms are available from www.cornwallsportspartnership.co.uk by emailing nsandoe@cornwall.gov.uk or telephoning Natasha Sandoe on 01872 324395.

The closing date for nominations is March 31.
