Nominations will be shortlisted and the awards will be presented at a ceremony on April 30 at the town’s Palace Theatre.
Head of leisure and community services, John Godwin, said: “This is the first year we have held these combined awards which celebrate achievements made within the sports, arts and community achievements.
"These awards follow on from an incredibly inspiring 2012 where the whole country came together as a community and highlighted the rich and diverse parts of Britain’s Culture including the Queen’s Jubilee and the 2012 Olympic Games.
“The council’s sport and arts development teams are looking to celebrate this at a local level with their new Inspire Awards as during their day-to-day jobs they comes into contact which such inspiring individuals and clubs which work hard to improve the life of residents in the borough.
“This is an ideal opportunity to award their efforts and to showcase what Redditch really has to offer.”
