Dunedin residents have nominated 89 different community groups, trusts and organisations for this year's Trustpower awards.

The annual awards cover five categories, with the winner of each receiving $500.

A supreme winner also gets $1500 and the chance to represent Dunedin at the national awards.

Last year's supreme winner from Dunedin was Ignite Consultants.

This year nominations include groups involved in community radio, children's camps, conservation projects, cancer charities and heritage programmes.

Winners will be announced at an awards ceremony in Dunedin on the 18th of May.
