The party is expanding on last year's campaigning awards to cover some other aspects of excellence in local branches:
Campaigning Award
"Have you undertaken a really successful campaign? Maybe you have prevented the closure of your local post office; or you achieved amazing results in the local elections?"
Social Action Award
"Every project, be it career-mentoring for under-privileged young
people, promoting healthy eating among children, internet lessons for
the elderly, or e-books to prepare students for life at university,
adds enormous value to the local community and makes a real difference
to people's lives."
The Membership and Affiliations Award
"We want to hear from you if you have reached out to a hitherto untapped section of the electorate; have run a successful membership drive; organised a series of discussion forums for a wider and new audience; or have recruited lots of extra volunteers to help with canvassing and leaflet drops."
Best "Communication Champion"
"The Communication Champions are playing a vital role in bringing us closer together. Working on the ground, the Communication Champions communicate and distribute messages and feedback throughout the country."
