Calor believe it is time that these people were recognised and celebrated, and we’ve set aside a prize fund of £8,000 to do this!

The search for our local unsung heroes will be led by TV and radio personality, Hector Ó hEochagáin. This summer Hector and the team at Calor are looking for your help to choose the Calor Community Champion 2012.

To enter and nominate your local hero could not be easier; all you need to do is ‘like’ the Calor Facebook page, once you become a ‘fan’ you can enter the Community Champion app. Then just provide us with the name of your nominee, contacts details and in 250 words why you think they deserve to win!

Jennifer Fagan, Marketing Executive, Calor Gas said: “At Calor with our close connections and work in our local communities, we understand the work carried out every day by unsung heroes in towns and villages across the island of Ireland. The Calor Community Champion is one way you can recognise those who have made exceptional contributions to your local community. We want as many nominations from the general public, local community groups and charitable organisations in Co. Londonderry / Derry so that the people who have helped to make our community a better place can get the recognition they truly deserve.”

The winner and inaugural Calor Community Champion 2012 will receive £1,200 and a bursary of £6,000 to give to their nominated charity or local organisation. Calor will even throw in £400 for the person or organisation that nominated them. Nominations to crown this year’s champion will close on July 20th.

Calor will select the top 32 local champions, one from each county and put them to the public vote through our Facebook app. The public will have four weeks to vote for their favourite and the top four local champions and two wildcards will make it through to the final phase.
