The council is asking residents to identify anyone deserving recognition for making a positive difference in Chichester. The awards aim to celebrate those who help make the city a special place to live, work, and visit.
Nominations are open across several categories, including Civic Awards, Young Citizens’ Awards, Community Awards, Heritage Awards, Arts, Science and Culture Awards, and Small Business Awards. The City Council will also consider nominations for Blue Plaques to commemorate significant people or events in Chichester’s history.
Whether it's a dedicated volunteer, an inspiring young person, a thriving local business, or a community group making a difference, the council encourages the public to put forward their suggestions.
All nominations must be supported by a seconder. Submissions can be made online or by downloading a form from the City Council website. The deadline for nominations is 5pm on Friday 30 October 2026.
