HFM, the new community radio station for the area, is due to take to the airwaves on Saturday, February 10, pending final checks by regulating body Ofcom.
Station manager Barry Badger said: "HFM is all about the community and we thought it apt that someone who lives locally should have the honour of switching the station on.
"Whether it's a youngster who has done something extra special to help somebody or an elderly person who gives up a lot of their time to support someone else, we want to hear about it."
The person selected will also get a VIP tour of the station studios, and be interviewed on air.
HFM has secured a five-year licence to provide full-time community radio to Harborough and South Leicestershire and will broadcast on 102.3FM as well as on the internet. It follows more than ten short-term broadcasts.
The station will provide a mix of music from the 60s to the present day, local news and features and specialist music shows.
Test transmissions were due to start yesterday (Wednesday) to enable new transmission equipment to be fully tested and set.
To nominate someone to switch on HFM, log onto www.harboroughfm.co.uk, or write to 102.3 HFM, Innovation House, Valley Way, Welland Business Park, Market Harborough, LE16 7PS.
Nominations must be received by Wednesday, February 7.
