Youth Awards open for nominations

Please help us to celebrate the achievements of our young people by nominating them for a Youth Award.

OPEN Youth Trust (OPEN) has been working alongside young people for eleven years now and these awards are designed to highlight young people's astonishing achievements and to give them the recognition and encouragement they deserve.

In order for young people to be nominated for an award, they need to be aged between 11-19 years of age (or up to 25 years for those with additional needs) and living in Norfolk, with the exception of the Hero Award which is for young people to nominate an adult who in their eyes is a 'hero' or champion.

Nominations opened on Friday 8 September and the awards will be judged by an independent panel of judges. Joe Crowley, Ambassador for OPEN and presenter of The One Show and Countryfile will host the Awards ceremony which will take place on Wednesday 28 February 2018.

Young people can be nominated for one or more of the following categories:

• Community
• Sport (Individual)
• Sport (Team)
• Arts
• Charity
• Entrepreneur
• Perseverance
• Volunteer
• Education

The closing date for nomination is Monday 30 November and nominations can either by made online via opennorwich.org.uk/whats-on/youth-awards-2018 or by completing the attached nomination form.
