Head over to the entry form on our Fundraising Stories page where you can submit your own entry and/or nominations to the Nosey Awards. After entering your details and the details of your fundraising activity, you will be asked if you would like to be entered into the Awards or not.

The 6 award categories are:


1. Solo Superstar – An award for the lone legends who took on a solo challenge and still knocked it out of the park. This Nosey salutes your unstoppable spirit.

2. Class Act - Calling all school superstars. If your fundraising efforts deserve a gold star and a round of applause, share your story for a chance to get top marks.

3. Dream Team - For the squads who proved that when great people get together, great things happen. Work pals, book clubs, dog‑walking crews- if you teamed up to do good, nominate yourselves for a Nosey.

4. Rising Star - A huge cheer for the under‑18 fundraisers, who go to extraordinary lengths for a life-changing LOL. This Nosey celebrates their creativity, courage, and unstoppable good vibes.

5. Sporty Star - For the champions who sweated and smiled through the miles. Whether you ran a marathon dressed as a carrot or invented a new sport, this Nosey celebrates your brilliantly bonkers athleticism.

6. The Lenny - 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. Celebrating the exceptional fundraisers who carry Lenny's spirit forwards. If you've gone the extra mile- uniting communities and raising outstanding funds- this is your moment to shine.

There will be one winner for each award.
