Nominations have already started coming in for the first-ever North Norfolk News Awards.
Following the launch last week, suggestions have been coming in from across the district for individuals and organisations who have made a difference to the people around them.
New for 2021, the awards are this newspaper's way of celebrating North Norfolk's caring and diverse community, and helping those that go above and beyond get the recognition they deserve.

Stuart Anderson, North Norfolk News' chief reporter, said: "From personal struggles to national lockdowns, the pandemic has been the most challenging period most of us have ever had to live through.
"But out of these difficult times we've seen people in towns and villages come together in ways they never have before.
"From the pub landlord who has run a fundraiser for charity, to the teacher who has put in long hours to benefit children, or the retired neighbour who helps anyone they can out of the goodness of their heart.
"North Norfolk is full of unsung heroes and quiet achievers who have done amazing things for their community or for other people, often without expecting anything in return.
