npower launches search to find Fan of the Year

npower and the Football League have launched a nationwide search to find the 'npower Fan of the Year' who will be honoured at a spectacular gala dinner at The Brewery, London in March 2011.

Supporters are now being asked to put forward fellow fans that have gone above and beyond the call of duty to support their club.

To nominate a fan for the npower Fan of the Year award, supporters can email the nominees name, their supported club, the entrants relationship to them and a summary of why they should win the award to awards@football-league.co.uk.

Entries close on Friday 14th January 2011.

The sixth annual Football League Awards event, in association with npower, will recognise footballing excellence both on the field and behind the scenes – with clubs and players awarded alongside fans.

The nominations for the npower Fan of The Year Award will be judged by an expert panel, including representatives from The Football League, the media and npower.

The Football League's head of marketing, David Malkinson said: "The Football League Football Awards has become one of the most prestigious events of the football season, and this award helps ensure that the role fans play in the game is recognised alongside that of the players they watch and the work clubs do.

"Fans are at the very heart of what the Football League is about but their dedication and commitment to their clubs often goes unrewarded.  I would encourage anyone to put forward any individual they believe should be considered for this award, and give them a chance to receive the recognition they deserve."
