After a hat-trick of awards for Gareth Bale, we've got award fever of our own in the 606 office and are currently building up to the inaugural 606 End of Season Awards.

As part of 5live's Big Day Out on June 1 we'll be celebrating the best calls, fans, teams, trips, designated drivers and football tweeters of the season with you for company. If you haven't got your tickets yet go here.

 The 606 judging panel* will decide the majority of the awards but call of the year is going to be voted for by you. We'll announce the shortlist on the show on Saturday 11th May and you'll be able to vote for your call of the year by text.

In the meantime - do you know anyone who should be recognised as 606's Fan of the Year? Is it their dedication and the work they put in behind-the-scenes? Are they the ones that get the chants going? Or are they just the biggest fan of your club? We want you to nominate your fan of the season. Fill out this quick form to nominate who you think deserves it.

A shortlist will be announced a week before the Big Day Out, with the winner being announced on the night.

We’ve had a different non-league team of the week on every show throughout the season. So it’s only right that we have a non-league team of the season. We've had so many great stories from Mansfield manager, Paul Cox getting a Bentley for the result against Barrow to Matt Le Tissier coming out of retirement to sign for Guernsey FC and getting them promoted. Should your team take the honours? Who wants to be shown last on Match of the Day every week anyway? Non-league football is definitely where it's at in 2013.

 Robbie has spent the season giving shout-outs to designated drivers up and down the country - the shandymen of football. But who has put in the real miles? Who deserves the ultimate Shandyman honour? 5 Live's non-league show presenter Caroline Barker and a very special guest will announce the winner on the night.

Only the most loyal of fans travel to grounds all around the country to watch their team. But which is the best trip? Which fixture you look forward to every year and why? Is it the best town for a few drinks pre-game? Is it the best away end in the ground? Or does it just serve the best bovril? We’ll be crowning the ‘Best Away Day’ on June 1st.

And if you’re a footballer these days, you have to be on Twitter – it almost comes with the title. But who’s a must-follow? If you could only follow one footballer on Twitter, who would it be? The 606 judging panel will be picking one must-follow and crowing them our "Football tweeter of the season"

So that's the awards:

Call of the season 

Fan of the season

Non League team of the season

Designated Driver of the season

Best Away Day

Football tweeter of the season 

 Let us know what you think on our Facebook page or using #606Awards on Twitter.

 *The 606 judging panel are the production team that put the show together each and every week.
