A Blue Plaque scheme is being set up in Derby.
Derby City Council and Derby Civic Society want to celebrate famous people with strong links with the city.
Blue Plaques are traditionally erected on a building or a site to mark the connection between that location and a famous person.
Suggestions already put forward include painter Joseph Wright and philosopher Erasmus Darwin.
People who have been dead for at least 20 years can been nominated. The scheme will also aim to mark the lives of community heroes who have had long lasting effects on parts of Derby.
Councillor Hardyal Dhindsa said: "This is an exciting scheme which will help remind us how many important people have links to Derby and also celebrate our more local heroes, who have made a long lasting difference to their communities.
"We are delighted to be working with Derby Civic Society to honour Derby people in this way. Derby has a rich history encompassing science, engineering and the creative industries and I'm confident that by championing our city's notable figures we will inspire future generations to go on to greatness."
Who would you nominate? Let us know by typing their name on the form below.
You can also send your suggested name, along with the reason why they should be honoured, to Derby Civic Society 19, Carlton Road, Derby DE23 6HB or email derbycivicsoc@aol.com before the end of November.
Derbyshire County Council already run the scheme with famous Derby engineer Sir Henry Royce the latest to be honoured.
