[cma-l] People’s Millions deadline: 12 noon, 15th May

[CMA-L]

Fwd:

Community groups across the country have less than a month to beat the
deadline and enter The People’s Millions TV contest to secure the
chance to win a Lottery award of up to £50,000 to improve their local
area.

Community groups will need to enter the contest by the deadline of 12
noon on 15 May. Now in its fifth year, the contest is a partnership
between the Big Lottery Fund (BIG) and ITV, which gives the public the
chance to choose which local projects receive lottery funding.

Later in the year, shortlisted projects will be screened on their
local ITV evening regional news where viewers will be able to cast
their vote for the projects they want to win the good-cause cash.

This year the contest will make 69 awards of up to £50,000 across the
ITV regions for projects that will enhance local facilities or help
people to enjoy their local area.

Projects that have received funding through the contest have included
a community garden and allotment, a tall-ship sailing project, a
community bicycle scheme, steelpan classes for young people, a mobile
farm, and Lionheart Community Radio: http://bit.ly/lionheart_radio_08

The People’s Millions is part of BIG’s commitment to involving the
public in deciding how Lottery money is spent. In the last four years,
the competition has made 318 awards totalling £18 million to community
projects across the UK through the contest.

Entry packs for The People’s Millions are available by calling the
hotline: 08450 10 11 12 or by visiting
