The annual awards recognise work in Kent, Medway, Bexley and Bromley that supports kindness and compassion, wellbeing and mental health.
Entries could include a simple act of kindness that lifted the spirits, a business that improved staff wellbeing, or a charity initiative that has helped a local community.
Run by East Kent Mind in collaboration with a range of wellbeing and mental health organisations, and supported by various partners including Kent County Council (KCC), nominations close at noon, 1 September.
The winners will be announced at an awards night in October.
“Mental health is as important as our physical health so if you're doing great things, share with us and submit an entry”
KCC's Director of Public Health, Dr Anjan Ghosh, said: "Every year these much-loved awards give us the opportunity to say 'thank you' to the mental health and wellbeing champions in our communities for their vital work. It's also a chance to learn from one another and celebrate what gets results.
"Nominations are open to all, including schools, businesses, charities - and you don't have to rely on someone else nominating you. Mental health is as important as our physical health so if you're doing great things, share with us and submit an entry yourself."
“I know from my own experience that poor mental health can affect anyone at any time of life - and those working to help others rediscover hope are extremely dedicated”
Diane Morton, KCC’s Cabinet Member for Adult Social Care and Public Health, is a registered mental health nurse and trained counsellor.
Diane said: "I know from my own experience that poor mental health can affect anyone at any time of life - and those working to help others rediscover hope are extremely dedicated.
"It's fantastic these awards shine a light on this commitment and are inviting entries from causes close to my heart, including suicide prevention, and support for veterans and people living with disabilities. Please do find out more and get nominating at www.kentmentalwellbeingawards.org.uk."
