CELEBRATING the spirit and achievements of local people, the Nottingham Post Heroes Awards ceremony will take place tonight at the Belfry Hotel.
A number of the area's greatest achievers will be heading to the stage to present awards to those who make a positive contribution to Nottingham communities.
This year's Miss Nottingham, Rebecca Drysdale (pictured) is looking forward to being involved in the event.
The 18-year-old from Wollaton, said: "I've never done anything like this before, so I'm looking forward to presenting and meeting lots of local people.
"It's great because it's for the city that I was born in and it's always nice to praise people that deserve it. I'll definitely be dressing up and wearing my crown!"
The Nottingham Post Heroes Awards aim to recognise those in the county who have shown commitment to their local community, organisations and individuals.
Tonight's ceremony will shine a light on those most deserving and congratulating people for their selfless efforts.
Others presenting awards include Nottingham Forest legend John McGovern and former water skiing world champion turned successful businesswoman Liz Hobbs.
