Organiser of the Year Awards 2012
No Smoking Day is a national campaign that makes a big impact. Each year we help millions of smokers make a step towards quitting and thousands give up for good. But No Smoking Day relies on people like you who create highly imaginative events to help smokers who want to quit. For this reason we hold our annual Organiser of the Year Awards to celebrate the successes of the hundreds of people who get involved in promoting No Smoking Day.
Return to this page in March 2012 to enter your event and you could be in with a chance of winning lots of No Smoking Day goodies for your next campaign!
