The search is on to find unsung heroes in the 2013 Pride of Hartlepool Awards.. There are 10 categories for you to nominate people for: Sporting Achievement; Community Group; Child of Courage; Green Champion; Community Champion; Fundraiser of the Year; Student of the Year; Emergency Services; Performer of the Year and Local Hero - Public Vote.

We’re looking for people who, in their everyday lives, have managed to do something extraordinary for the benefit of themselves and others – real unsung heroes, and we should be very proud of them. We’re already looking forward to what we’re sure will be a fantastic night, rewarding those people of Hartlepool who go the extra mile and deserve to be recognised.
