Jamie Groves, the county council's head of communications, marketing and leisure, said: "The Denbighshire Community Sport Awards has helped recognise and share some amazing stories of achievement by individuals and teams from Denbighshire over the last couple of years.
"Each year there are new nominations from various sport clubs and schools throughout the county, and last year are panel had a hard job picking just three finalists for each category from over 180 separate nominations.
"This proves to us that the quality of sport in Denbighshire is very high, there are plenty of opportunities for people to return to playing sport or to try a new sport as a beginner too. This is all down to the unselfish army of volunteers within our community clubs, so let's recognise this and celebrate community sport in Denbighshire again this year!”
