Last chance to pick out your winner

The closing date is ­tomorrow, so if you know of a great group, inspiring individual or brilliant business helping to transform Glasgow, let us know now.

Our campaign has been helping people improve their communities for three years and now we want to reward the fantastic efforts made by men, women and children across the city,

We know there is wonderful work being carried out under the Streets Ahead banner all over the city, from lunchtime litter-picks and community gardens to road safety and bulb-planting projects.

We will be awarding eight prizes, including an overall winner to be announced at a special ceremony in the Winter Gardens at the ­People's Palace on Glasgow Green on June 19.

Supported by our other Streets Ahead partners - Glasgow Housing Association, ScotRail, the ­Scottish Fire and Rescue Service and the City ­Charitable Trust, the event will pay tribute to the wonderful work being done around the city.

There will be trophies for the best garden, best clean-up campaign, best environmental initiative, best community garden, best community initiative and best business initiative, plus a schools award.

In Parkhead, a small garden is fast becoming a popular community hub thanks to the efforts of dedicated volunteers and local businesses.

Hiwaar Community Centre volunteers, with the support of Glasgow's Community Payback scheme - which works with people who have been involved in offending or anti-social behaviour - have transformed a run-down plot of land into a pretty garden, and they have big plans to develop the site.

The project has also been awarded £1000 from the Evening Times to continue to improve the area.

Project founder and manager Tarig Mubarak said: "We are extremely grateful to the Evening Times Streets Ahead campaign for its generous support of our community garden. £1000 is a great boost for us."

Around 50 local people regularly attend the centre, which is run by a group of refugees and ­asylum seekers.
