We have extended the deadline for making a nomination to our annual Care Home Awards to Wednesday 6 September.

Nominations need to be completed by this date - so if you haven't already done so, please take a look at the guidelines and categories to help us celebrate and acknowledge the exceptional skills and commitment of those working in the care home sector across Scotland.

There are 13 categories covering organisations, staff and service users. This year, entry forms have been made shorter and easier to complete, with the option of online entry available.

You can enter your nomination electronically on survey monkey: www.surveymonkey.co.uk

Please ensure you read the guidelines before completing your nomination, any submissions that do not follow the guidelines may not be accepted by the judges.

Judging of the awards will be in September and the Care Awards Gala Dinner will be held on Friday 17th November at the Hilton Hotel, Glasgow.

Good luck to all!
