Nosey Awards 2024 – Terms and Conditions
The Awards
Comic Relief will be awarding Noseys in 5 categories for Red Nose Day 2024. These awards will celebrate the supporters who have fundraised for Comic Relief between Red Nose Day 2021 and Red Nose Day 2024. The 5 award categories are:
1. Solo Superstar - Celebrating those singularly wonderful fundraisers who do it alone, this Nosey is for those who took on an epic solo challenge to change the world for the better.
2. Class Act - Do you rule the school when it comes to fundraising? This is the Nosey for you. Share your A-star story for a chance to pick up top marks and an award like no other.
3. Dream Team - Calling all Red Nose Day squads! Whether you’re work mates, family, friends or neighbours, if you got together to do something great, nominate yourselves for a Nosey.
4. Rising Star - We’re always amazed by the incredible efforts of our youngest fundraisers, who go to extraordinary lengths for a life-changing LOL. That’s why there’s a special Nosey for outstanding under-18s.
5. The Lenny (hero award) - Established in honour of Comic Relief’s founding member and lifetime president Sir Lenny Henry. This prestigious and swanky award is a chance to say a huge thank you to fundraisers who support Comic Relief and make a big difference to the lives of people affected by poverty across the UK and around the world. The Lenny Award is for those incredible people who rally the troops, go the extra mile and lead the charge with endless enthusiasm, community spirit and incomparable cat-herding abilities. Perhaps they had to overcome a challenge of their own while fundraising? The total raised is not important - it’s all about going above and beyond for Comic Relief!
