Torchbearer nominations
Thank you to everyone who nominated an Olympic Torchbearer through the London 2012 Organising Committee 'Moment to shine' campaign.
We received tens of thousands of exceptional nominations between May and June 2011.
Those shortlisted were put forward to selection panels across the UK, who judged each story anonymously. With the standard so high, there were difficult decisions to be made as to who would be one of the 8,000 people carrying the Flame. Nominees had around a one in 11 chance of being a Torchbearers.
The Olympic Torch Relay Presenting Partners also ran nomination campaigns.
Successful nominees were contacted with a conditional offer in December 2011 and places will be confirmed by March 2012.
