The UKTV Local Food Hero Awards are a tribute to Britain's independent food businesses and we’re asking food lovers to nominate, vote for, and reward their food heroes' passion for providing great local food.

We'd love you to nominate your favourite food hero for an award. Please see the general terms and conditions and voting terms and conditions. If you would like to nominate or vote, you need to be over 18 and a UK resident. Registration is also required. Please note that voting will close on 14 July, 2008.
