Bro Radio's Community Awards are back for 2025, as we look to celebrate everything great about living, working and visiting the County which we serve.

Across eleven award categories, we'll be recognising the best of business, community, sport, volunteering and individuals from across the Vale of Glamorgan, as nominated by the local community.

Our finalists will be recognised at a black-tie event taking place at Penarth Pier Pavilion in June.

Bro Radio's Community Awards are sponsored by Chris Davies Estate Agents, the Vale's largest independent estate agent, helping people to move home since 1989. Find out more at www.chris-davies.co.uk

The awards have been made possible through the support of our category sponsors CJCH Solicitors, Fun Harbour, Mack Events, The Big Fresh Catering Company, Thornton Travel, The HR Dept, Rosedew Farm,  Sullivans Greengrocers, Specsavers Barry, Vale of Glamorgan Council and Shutterhire Photography.

Nominations are open until 11:59pm on Friday 2nd May 2025, across eleven award categories.

Our tips for a top nomination:

1. Our judges won't know the person, business or group which you're nominating. Make sure you give the judges as much background on your nominee, their work and why they deserve to be recognised.
2. You have 1,000 words, use them. Our judges won't know of the work of your nominee, so its important you give them as much information, backgrounds, stories and highlights as possible. 
3. The awards are about celebrating the Vale of Glamorgan. Throughout your nomination, highlight to our judges how the nominee has made an impact on life in the Vale of Glamorgan.
4. Don't rush (unless you've left it to the deadline). Before submitting your entry, write it out in a document and send it to friends or colleagues, to make sure it is the best reflection of your nominee.
