We’ve already has some fantastic nominations including Carol Malpass, from Ebbw Vale, who was nominated by her daughter Rhiannon.
Despite recently being diagnosed with epilepsy the mother has earned praise, with Rhiannon saying: “I think my mum deserves to win because nothing is too much for her.
“No matter what she puts everyone before herself. She goes above and beyond to help me and my family and I think she deserves a little something back!”
This ‘incredible' mother even did a charity sky dive, even though she is ‘petrified’ of heights and flying.
Carol is one of many spectacular mothers whose story has been shared and there’s still time to enter.
To enter, e-mail us a photo of you and your mother with up to 200 words on why you think she deserves to win. Submissions should also include which part of Gwent you’re from, your ages, and a contact number.
Submissions should be sent to leah.powell@newsquest.co.uk
