The contract period is from July 28, 2023, to July 26, 2024, with an available budget of £300,000. Submissions are due by May 10, 2023, and the winners will be announced in the summer, with work expected to commence at the end of July 2023. This tender provides an opportunity for digital media agencies specializing in advertising and marketing services to create social media content targeting a demographic of 18-34-year-olds.

There are two distinct elements to the Awards programme. Firstly, we ask the public and National Lottery funding distributors to nominate individuals from funded projects across several categories. The winners are selected decided by a judging panel made up of members of the National Lottery family and selected representatives of outside agencies i.e., media partners. There will also be Special Achievement Award this year, a new addition for 2023, to honour an individual who has gone above and beyond to make the lives of people that little bit better in challenging times. The seven categories for individual winners are: * Arts, Culture and Film * Heritage * Community and Charity * Sport * Young Hero (under 25's) * Environment * Special Achievement In addition to the individual winners, there is also a category to honour a National Lottery Project of the Year that is decided by public vote. The campaign, which launches every year from April, is seven months long. Winners will be decided in the summer, and it is envisaged that we will need to begin work with the winning bidder for this contract at the end of July 2023.
