NOMINATIONS are being sought for a major awards scheme which highlights Glasgow’s most inspirational people and organisations.
The Herald and Glasgow Chamber of Commerce have again teamed up with PEOPLE MAKE GLASGOW, the award-winning city brand, to host the Inspiring City Awards.
And for the first time it will see the presentation of a Young Persons Award, sponsored by Glasgow Fort. Centre director Phil Goodman said: “Glasgow Fort is proud to support the Glasgow Inspiring City Awards, which honour the people of the city who, through their actions, endeavours and inspiration, make a difference to this great city. We are especially pleased to be linked with the Young Person award, in this, Scotland’s first year of young people.”

Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
