Do you know someone who deserves that extra little bit of recognition? Or someone whose community work has gone unnoticed?

Nominations are now open for the 2010 Northwest Fusion Awards.

From those working in a voluntary capacity to those reaching new heights in their chosen career - the Fusion Awards want to reward their endeavours.

The awards aim to give recognition to those who take part in so much community work but do not always remain in the public domain.

They are open to all regardless of culture, background or religion and are sponsored by Asian Image.

You can nominate yourself or someone else. The finalists will attend a dazzling dinner event in May.
