Every December, the Medieval Cloister is lined with festive trees designed by schools, businesses, and charities in the area.
The event attracts thousands of attendees every year, and has more trees than ever last year, with 135.
This year, visitors can enjoy the spectacle from December 5 to January 6.
The Cathedral's ferryman of 41 years, Mark Glossop, has been nominated for the unsung hero award.
One of the founders and rower of the Cathedral ferry since 1983, Mr Glossop volunteered to run and row the boat, and has played an integral role in maintaining the service.
The ferry had been making daily trips across the River Severn from the Water Gate for more than 600 years until the late 1950s, providing monks, milkmaids, and more recently, schoolboys, a direct and convenient crossing to work in the meadows and the Priory of Hardwick in St John's.
The service was revived in 1983, when the current boat 'Doris' was launched, which Mr Glossop has run and rowed.
He said: "I am astonished but delighted that the efforts of the team are being recognised in this way.
"This has always been a team effort and I could not have done it without a lot of helpers, including several who have been involved for over 30 years.
"Happily a new team has emerged to take it forward - perhaps for another 40 years."
He added: "At one time there were dozens of ferries on the Severn, including at least three in Worcester itself, and it is good to keep the tradition going.
"The ferry provides an unusual and largely unexpected attraction to visitors and has raised over £20,000 for local causes - so long may it continue."
The winners of the Visit Worcestershire Tourism Awards will be determined by public vote, which can be cast now.
