The Celebrating Young People Awards honour the achievements of those truly remarkable young people who make our communities and our world a better place.

Nominated by anyone from friends and family to teachers and clergy, the winners are drawn from throughout England and Wales and reflect achievements in every area of social action. Their achievements will be an inspiration for us all. They will show us all how ordinary young people can do the most extraordinary things.

Previous recipients have included young carers, peer mentors, and climate change activists!

Our winners come from public nominations and are whittled down to a shortlist in each category. Our judging panels, made up of celebrated figures, choose the winners who will be honoured at a ceremony in Parliament in July.

You can nominate young people aged 11-25 for six of the awards. Two awards are especially for recognising the amazing leaders who empower the young people in their communities.

Nominations now closed for 2022
