Your last chance to enter

Nominate someone special for our Tesco magazine Mum of the Year 2010 awards

Every year we are astounded by the thousands of incredible nominations you send us for our Mum of the Year awards. Like our remarkable 2009 overall winner, Iris Billing, who founded the charity Tanya's Courage after losing her teenage daughter Tanya to cancer.

The search is now on to find the Mum of the Year 2010. Once again, this is your chance to help us recognise exceptional women around the UK. You don't have to nominate your own mum, just someone who has shown extraordinary bravery and dedication; who tirelessly campaigns to help others or has inspired you by their kindness.

Maybe it's even a dad who successfully fulfils a mother's role. Our deserving winners will enjoy a glamorous day out in London at our star-studded awards ceremony where they will be wined, dined and pampered, and get to meet a host of celebrities. Entering is really easy. All you need do is simply write down their story, complete the entry form below, and send us their photo, if you can. So get in touch and tell us about the great mums you know.
