The Institute's Local Society of the Year competition is seeking entries.

It is judged on three criteria – membership, communication and events. There will be two classes, based on the average attendance on grant application forms that treasurers submitted in the summer – under 30, and 30 and above. The competition is open to societies who have submitted a valid grant application form and a 2010/2011 programme.

The prize is up to £1,000 to organise a prestigious event and two members of the local society will be invited to attend the Premier Awards dinner in summer 2011.

Applications must be sent to Efi Fragkou by 6 December.
