Family Awards
Help Candis celebrate the achievements of Britain’s best families in 2012
This will be the fourth year Candis has held its search for Britain’s most outstanding families – and it’s our most exciting award yet. This year, for the first time, the award ceremony will be held in London. And a panel of eight celebrity judges will help us decide the winners. So now we need your help!
Do you know a family doing amazing things to help others? Or does your family deserve recognition for making a real difference to the community or a cause close to your hearts? If so, we want to hear from you. There are five family categories to enter and the winning families will be invited to a fabulous award day at ZSL London Zoo to hear who’ll be chosen as our overall winner.
We can’t wait to read your entries!
Closing date for entries is 29th February 2012
How to enter...
1) Tell us how your nominated family is making a difference by filling in the form below
2) Please include the names and the ages of everyone in the family as well as an email and daytime telephone contact number. We will also need your contact details if you are the nominating person.
3) We’re interested in families who work together, so please include as much detail as you can about the role of each family member involved along with their achievements, struggles and goals.
4) Any type or size of family can enter our search for Britain’s outstanding families, but we do ask that more than one generation is involved.
Decide which category you want the family to enter:
* The Fundraisers *
For the family who pull together to raise cash for a worthy cause.
* The Carers *
For families who foster, adopt or devote their time to care for those with additional needs.
* The Campaigners *
For families who help change opinions, educate people, raises awareness about something or improve conditions, either here or abroad.
* The Health Heroes *
For the family who have improved not only their own lifestyle but also the lifestyle of others through healthy activity and sports.
* The Community Champions *
For families who have made a real difference to their community.
What happens next...
All five families will be invited to an exclusive once-in-a-lifetime day out at ZSL London Zoo on 28 May 2012. They’ll spend the morning exploring the award-winning exhibits, including Penguin Beach, Gorilla Kingdom and the zoo’s cutting-edge biodiversity project B.U.G.S! With around 720 different species over 36 acres, there’s something for everyone.
Then it’ll be time for afternoon tea when each family will receive their Candis goodie bag with prizes worth £500 before our panel announce the overall winner of the Outstanding Family of the Year 2012!
