This award recognises the often overlooked and huge contribution unpaid carers can make to families, communities and organisations.

Maybe one of your parents tends to another as well as the rest of the family? Or has a carer in a hospice made a huge difference to your family?

This is your chance to thank them for their efforts.

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.

We would like to thank The Pembroke Care Group for kindly sponsoring this year's award.

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