Published 11th February 2021
Celebrating the best of learning, creativity, innovation, service and excellence from 1 April 2020 to 31 March 2021
This year's Inspire Awards are going to be extra special as we celebrate two years of fantastic achievements and five years of Inspire. Due to the pandemic we had to cancel last year's awards but as promised all 2019/20 nominations will be carried forward and included in a bumper celebration.
Now that we've had the great news that libraries and sites will be re-opening in April (subject to government guidance), we've decided to extend the Inspire Awards nominations deadline and move the celebration evening to early Autumn.
By doing this we'll increase the opportunity for staff, partners, schools, learners, volunteers and customers to send in their amazing nominations and we will be able to put on the bigger and better celebration that all of our nominees deserve. Plus, the opportunity to celebrate Inspire's 5th Birthday!
So tell us, have you been inspired by a colleague, learner, community group, tutor, volunteer or staff member? Do you know an amazing person who deserves to be recognised for their outstanding achievement this year?
The awards are open to everyone – individual, team, group or partner who has achieved great things through their relationship with Inspire. With 12 awards up for grabs, make sure you nominate for one of the following categories:
