Record
number of entries for Frank Gillard Awards 2002
A record high of 260 entries have been received for this year's
BBC Frank Gillard Awards, which recognise excellence and achievement
in BBC Local Radio.
There
are 14 categories this year, including a new award for "Outstanding
contribution to BBC Local Radio" and a special category for
the acclaimed A Sense of Place documentary series, which all BBC
local radio stations contributed to earlier this year.
The
A Sense of Place category attracted a Gillard record entry of 36
and there were encouraging increases for the Diversity, Breakfast
Programme and Programme Presenter categories.
This
year's awards ceremony is being held at Norwich City Football Club
on 17 October.
John
Inverdale is hosting the event, with BBC Chairman Gavyn Davies presenting
the awards.
