Last opportunities to nominate a team to carry the Paralympic Flame
The start of 2012 sees the last opportunities to nominate people to carry the Paralympic Flame during the London 2012 Paralympic Torch Relay.
Sainsbury's are now on the hunt for inspirational Torchbearers, to work in teams of five, to carry the Paralympic Flame during an overnight Torch Relay from Stoke Mandeville to the Opening Ceremony of the Paralympic Games at the Stadium in Stratford, East London.
Sainsbury's launched its public nomination process on January 11 and it is the last of the three campaigns run by Presenting Partners, Sainsbury's, BT and Lloyds TSB.
The campaign will give customers of Sainsbury's stores across the UK an opportunity to nominate a team or individual from their local community who they feel has inspired them.
The campaign will run until Tuesday 14 February.
Successful nominees will have displayed the Paralympic values of courage, determination, inspiration and equality to make a difference or push the boundaries of what is achievable.
BT launched its nomination campaign on Tuesday 13 December and has received over 500 nominations so far. The campaign will run until Friday 20 January.
Lloyds TSB ran its campaign from 18 October to 22 November 2011, during which it received thousands of nominations.
The London 2012 Paralympic Torch Relay programme will begin on Friday 24 August 2012 with the first Flame lighting event to be held in London. Over the Bank Holiday weekend, the greater Belfast area, Edinburgh and Cardiff will each host a Flame lighting moment and an evening Flame Festival.
