The awards are designed to recognise the difference that Lottery-funded projects make to local communities.
The two projects in the semi-finals of the contest are the Swansea-based Sol Cinema and Neath Port Talbot's Promoting Independence Through Neighbourliness. The Sol Cinema is a solar-powered mobile movie theatre which shows short videos on green topics, while the neighbourliness project is a befriending service run by Age Concern which is designed to encourage older people to take part in more social, group activities.
Voting for the awards runs until June 20, and the winner will receive £2,000.
