Maggie Currie, event organiser, said: "I'm happy to say that once again we have received a good number of entries for this year's awards, but I would hate to think that some organisations might miss an opportunity to win an accolade because they were too late to enter.
"Please get your entries in now. Our panel of independent judges are eagerly awaiting your submissions."
There are 10 award categories, including Community Project Of The Year, Village Hero Award, Sports Coach/Leader Of The Year, Animal Impact Award, Young Person Of The Year (Under 18), Fundraising Award, Volunteer Of The Year, Island School/Club Achievement, Good Neighbour Of The Year, and the Overall Champion Award (Decided by Public Vote).
Anyone can nominate organisations or individuals, and self-nominations are also accepted.
Entry forms can be completed online at Vectis Radio's website.
