TIME is running out to nominate someone you know to be one of this year's Highland Heroes.
The awards, organised by SPP Media and now in their second year, celebrate people in the Highlands who make a real difference to our communities, healthcare, education, safety and wellbeing.
Readers are being invited to nominate people in any of the 12 categories: primary pupil, secondary pupil, primary teacher, secondary teacher, carer, fundraiser, volunteer, community champion, brave child, health professional, emergency services or armed forces hero and public servant.
The deadline for nominations is midnight tomorrow.
SPP Media's editorial director David Bourn said: "This is a last call for you to tell us about the real heroes who go above and beyond to make your community, workplace or school a special place.
"Highland Heroes wants to celebrate the contribution people in our area make to the lives of others by giving them the recognition they deserve.
"So if you know a Highland Hero, now is the time to share their story."
To nominate somebody for the awards, visit www.surveymonkey.co.uk/r/HighlandHeroes2018 or email heroes@spp-group.com with your name, address, email and phone number, along with the person you are nominating, up to 200 words to explain why, and their contact details.
After the deadline closes, a judging panel will draw up a shortlist in each category before readers are given the opportunity to vote for their favourites in a special supplement we will publish in September.
The winners of each category, along with an overall hero, will be announced at a ceremony at the Kingsmills Hotel in Inverness on Thursday, November 8.
The awards are sponsored by Inverness Airport.
