BBC Inspirations 2020

The BBC Inspirations Awards have resumed – but with a difference. An extraordinary year calls for extraordinary measures. So, all the longlisted nominees of the 2020 BBC Inspirations Awards are this year’s winners. You will be able to hear their incredible stories in a series of virtual ceremonies from 21 December. Thank you to all the listeners who submitted suggestions for potential nominees. We were unable to consider them for this year’s longlist, but all your submissions have been kept safely and securely and will rollover to the next time we hold the awards. If you would like to remove your entry please email inspirations@bbc.com.
