Provost Ian Clarkson with the winners of last year’s awards, including heritage museum chairman John Sillars.
Nominations of worthy public-minded organisations are being sought to highlight local community heroes for the Provost’s Civic Pride Awards.
The awards, which are run by North Ayrshire Council, are now in their seventh year and are designed to recognise and reward the contribution made by a cross-section of committed community groups and individuals who strive to make improvements to the lives of others living in the area.
