This year we had more than 300 nominations for the Stars of Suffolk awards - and we are now just days away from revealing the winners.
The finalists in each of the 14 categories will gather at Wherstead Park on Thursday evening for the glittering award ceremony.
Our panel of judges were overwhelmed with stories of outstanding bravery, of selfless acts of kindness and dedication to the job when they faced the difficult task of whittling down the hundreds of nominees to just three finalists for each category. They have also chosen their overall Star of Suffolk 2015, to be announced at the end of the presentations.
