There are 8 categories in total - 7 for youth and 1 for the adults who support them. 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 would appreciate if you could email a photo of the nominee to [email protected]
