Town are in the running for the EFL's Kin + Carta Family Club of the Year award for the first time having been nominated alongside MK Dons and Sheffield United.
The award goes to the club adjudged to have provided the highest standards for families and young fans.
The winner will be announced at the EFL Awards at the Grosvenor House Hotel, Park Lane, London on Sunday 24th April.
"We're absolutely delighted that the club has been nominated for this year's award,” Town's PR manager Dan Palfrey told the official website.
"We've made a lot of effort to engage with families and young fans in order to inspire the next generation of supporters. The supporters have responded in brilliant fashion with record attendances in the FanZone as well as more fans engaging with initiatives such as First Time Fans.
"There are many more ideas in the pipeline but this nomination is positive recognition of the work that the club is carrying out.
"A lot of people at the club have contributed to this progress including Seb [Norton, family activities coordinator] and Lauren [Fellingham, family activities manager] who, alongside a committed team of volunteers, have strived to make Portman Road welcoming for all.”
This season the FanZone, which was introduced in 2016, has grown in popularity with a record 4,331 supporters frequenting it prior to the Cambridge United match.
Nearly 700 youngsters have taken part in the First Time Fans scheme, while under-12 season ticket holders having increased by 65 per cent on last season.
The club recently partnered with and hosted a designated matchday for the #HerGameToo campaign, while forward Conor Chaplin is an ambassador for Rainbow Tractors, the club's LGBTQ+ supporters group.
The nomination follows Town winning the Best Family Zone award in the 2018/19 EFL Fan Engagement Awards.
