The Love Arts Awards recognise the contribution of people, groups and organisations in Yorkshire who have made a real difference to people’s mental wellbeing through the arts. Our awards are a fantastic way of giving something back. It is a chance for you to show your support and appreciation of others. Do you know someone who you think has made a real difference? Then nominate them for an award! Activities should have taken place between April 2011 and August 2012 to be eligible for nomination in our awards, encompassing the 2011 Love Arts festival.
Here are details of our five award categories:
