Lottery Vote
So it's true: lottery grants are going to be decided by a public vote.
According to Third Sector, 50 awards of £50,000 will be made this year.
A panel of four people in each region will visit all the longlisted applicants before choosing the final shortlist. Public voting will be carried out, by region, during the week beginning 31 October. Each panel will consist of a local regeneration expert, a lottery-playing member of the public, an ITV representative and a Big Lottery Fund trustee.
Linda Quinn, deputy director of external relations for the Big Lottery Fund, said: "We will not be putting donkey sanctuaries up against asylum seeker projects. The idea is to create a level playing field. "The public will get a real sense of how difficult it is to allocate money when there is only a limited pot."
