Each year at Lib Dem conference ALDC presents the Local Campaigner Awards. These recognise the outstanding work and achievements of Liberal Democrat councillors, campaigners and campaign teams across England, Scotland and Wales. The awards are sponsored by our print partners Election Workshop.
Due to a number of submissions coming in in the past day we have decided to extend the deadline to Friday 6 September 2024.
The awards will be presented at ALDC’s AGM on Saturday 14 September from 8.15 to 9.30pm in the Alexandra Room at the Grand Hotel, Brighton. Someone from the nominated local party must be there to collect the award in person.
