Celebrate the Miracle of Youth

Young people like to have a good time. They do daft things. They act in a way that is often misunderstood by their elders. Remember when you were like that? Despite popular opinion, 100s of gifted young people in Gloucestershire work selflessly, for no reward, to help their peer group, community, the underprivileged or the needy.

Their contribution, however small, is often regarded as insignificant and goes un-noticed. Which is where Gloucesershire's Young People of the Year Award comes in.

Established in 1994, the Award celebrates young people who make a difference. So if you know someone aged between 16 and 25 who gives their time, effort and energy to help others, this is the time to get them the recognition they deserve.

Application form

Everyone in the county should have a chance to see the positive things our young people do - the Award can help to achieve this goal.

Nominations are now open for the 2008 Award, which will culminate in a special awards celebration to be held at The University of Gloucestershire's Park Campus on 29th of March 2008.

So if you'd like to put someone's name forward, act now. Complete the application form (available in PDF format - get the free Adobe PDF reader here), and post to:
