There are 10 categories in total - 9 for youth and 1 for the adults who support them. We've had a request for an award that recognises those younger than 12 and this has just been added in too. You can nominate someone for as many categories as you like. Nominations must include a second person we can contact as a referee and be a minimum of 150 words, maximum of 500 words. Please give as much detail as you can - the judging panel may not personally know the young person and we want all nominees to have a great story told about them!
We do require you to email a photo of the nominee to kkyouthcouncil@gmail.com
