Inspiring cultural projects are being sought for an annual awards ceremony.
Each year, Voluntary Arts shines a spotlight on all the creative activity taking place across the UK and Ireland.
From drama groups to choirs, painters to tapestry weavers and much more – since 2010 the awards have celebrated the creative people making a difference in their community.
A winner and runner-up is chosen from each nation, alongside a People’s Choice Award voted for by the public.
Previous Scottish winners include Aberdeenshire group Alternativity.
They were crowed the winners of the Epic Awards in 2016, for their modern-day nativity based on Syria’s refugee crisis.
About 100 performers from the villages of Birse, Ballogie, Finzean and Strachan had come together to stage the play.
Groups of all shapes and sizes can nominate themselves, as long as their activity took place in 2019 and was run primarily by volunteers.
Nominations can be made online and are open until the end of this month.
