Youth Entrepreneur Award
This award category is for young people who have demonstrated entrepreneurial and business skills in the commercial or third sector. Tell us how they have built up knowledge and skills and used them to shine in the workplace.
Youth Volunteering Award
To put it simply, a volunteer is someone who gives up their time and energy free of charge to help others - proving a little bit of effort can make a huge difference to many causes.

Can you think of a young person, or group, who has been involved in tackling issues such as smoking, alcohol or mental health? If you know someone who has helped and encouraged others to lead a healthier lifestyle nominate them now!
Youth Environment Award
Do you know a young person or group who gives their time and effort to help protect the world for future generations? This could be related to recycling, global sustainability, ecology or perhaps something else entirely. Whatever they do, this award will go to a young person who is passionate about green issues.
Citizenship Award
