LAST CHANCE TO NOMINATE YOUR SHEFFIELD LEGEND It’s your last chance to have a say in who you would like to join the exclusive ‘walk of fame’ outside Sheffield’s Town Hall. Members of the public are being invited to nominate their Sheffield Legend for 2010 and join the likes of local heroes Sean Bean, Def Leppard, Seb Coe and Michael Palin. The people of Sheffield are being asked to nominate their favourites, then an independent panel will be given the tough task of choosing this year’s Legend. Sheffield Legends honour the city’s heroes from various walks
of life – from the arts to science and from sport to industry. They have a special plaque set into the pavement ‘Hollywood Boulevard-style’ – believed to be the first of its kind in this country. Those honoured will be invited for an ‘unveiling’ ceremony outside the Town Hall in the heart of the city. When the initiative was launched five years ago hundreds of nominations for their heroes to become Sheffield Legends were received from the public through the post and via the internet. These were considered by an independent Selection Board representing
various sectors in the city - the arts, sport, education, media and modern businesses - which was chaired by the Lord Mayor. Lord Mayor, Cllr Graham Oxley said: “This is an ideal opportunity to nominate those who have brought recognition to Sheffield at national or international level. We already have some wonderful Legends in our ‘walk of fame’ and there are several personalities who have a strong claim to join them.” Those eligible for the awards must either have been born in Sheffield or have a very strong association with the city and must have achieved recognition

at national or preferably at international level. Nominees will be required to write a short note to say why their choice should receive the honour. All the nominations will be considered by the Selection Board.
