In partnership with the organisers of the Christmas Lights Switch On, Preston BID and Smooth Radio North West, we are seeking nominations for a Proud Prestonian to switch on the city’s Christmas lights.
The Switch On event, which is free to attend, takes place on the Flag Market on Saturday 19 November from 5.30pm, and will feature a packed show full of performers and special guests.

The winner of this competition will be invited on stage to speak to the event’s presenters in front of a huge home crowd, before joining famous faces to light up their city.
Nominations are open for Prestonians who have done some amazing things during 2022; someone who’s a great community champion, and flies the flag for Preston.
Last year’s competition was won by youngster Abigail McKenzie, who was nominated for her ‘courageous’ and ‘inspiring’ approach to life.
Do you know someone? Complete the form below outlining who you are nominating, and why. Nominations close on Wednesday 9 November. Please ask permission from the person you are nominating, as they must be available to attend the event.
We’ll also throw in a £70 Preston Gift Card and two tickets to attend the Switch On’s sponsor’s reception.
