The YorkMix Hero Awards are back for 2026 . Once again we’ve teamed up with Yorkshire Profiles to give you the chance to thank someone who makes life better where you live.
This year we’ll be recognising our heroes in a lavish award ceremony at York Racecourse on 5th June 2026.
We’re now asking you to nominate someone you know in one of our Hero Award categories. A panel of judges will then meet and shortlisted finalists will be announced later on this year.
