The initiative, launched last year, aims to find a community hero who goes above and beyond to help others or has achieved something remarkable.
Twelve regional finalists will be selected, and one overall winner will win a prize for themselves and a charity of their choice.
Last year’s overall winner, Emma Pears, set up a charity called SELFA to ensure services for disadvantaged, vulnerable and disabled children would not suffer when local statutory provision was due to be cut.
She said: “It feels like each of us in the room are the people who do the “small things” every day of our lives.
“Souper Stars is about celebrating the people who work tirelessly every day to make a difference.
“I feel humbled to have been amongst such great people.”
