Nominations for the 2024 Pride of Cricket Awards are now open.
Members of the cricket family are invited to nominate worthy individuals and groups across six categories - Pride of Cricket Award, Club Hero, Community Hero, Young Hero, Fundraising Hero and Media Hero.
A stand-out award, recognising the lifetime contribution of an individual to the game of cricket, away from the limelight.
Open to individuals or group of individuals who have been instrumental in the day-to-day running of their clubs, or for significant one-off contributions.
This might be dedication to refurbishing a pavilion, single-handedly organising Covid-safe children's coaching sessions, 50 years without missing a game as scorer, or myriad other reasons.
Open to a child or group of children who have given back tremendously to the cricket community over the course of the past 12 months.
Nominees must have been under 18 on April 1, 2024.
They may have fundraised to keep clubs running, or helped set up youth or girls’ sections at their club.
Open to individuals or groups of individuals who generated money for charity or fundraised for clubs over the past 12 months.
Their efforts might have stood out because of the nature of their fundraising activity, the amount of money they raised, or the tangible impact their efforts have had.
Open to individuals or groups of individuals who have taken cricket out into the wider world, and generated new interest.
This might be small charities which have provided kit to inner cities, or encouraged participation among disabled communities, or many other ways.
Open to individuals whose work in media – traditional, mainstream, digital, social, professional or amateur – has given cricket and their cricket community increased prominence.
This might be through ingenuity in multimedia, through campaigns, or by other means.
