The Flourishing Culture Awards celebrate people, groups and organisations who have made a significant impact on the cultural life of our communities in North Devon and Torridge. Culture means many things to many people, and these awards recognise the diverse and vibrant ways in which cultural activities enrich our lives.
We invite you to nominate individuals, groups, or organisations who have influenced you through their cultural contributions. Whether through art, music, performance, literature, heritage, sport or any other form of cultural expression, these awards embrace all aspects of community culture.
Shortlisted nominees will be invited to an awards event in Barnstaple in March, where the winners for each category will be announced and presented with their award.
Who can you nominate?
Anyone who lives or works in North Devon and Torridge, whether they are from towns, villages or remote hamlets, you can nominate anyone. It’s not about choosing the most successful, but about highlighting those who have made a positive impact on you or your community through cultural activity.

You can make multiple nominations in any category and nominate yourself or your organisation. If you have any questions, please email culture@northdevon.ac.uk
