Youth Award Nomination Form

Youth Awards will be awarded to people between 12 to 24 years of age. Please clearly print or type the following details about the person you are nominating. You must ensure that all sections of this form are completed or we will be unable to consider your nominee.

Nominee

The Recommendation

Please set out the precise reasons why you think the nominee deserves a Youth Award, with a MINIMUM of 100 words.

We are looking for outstanding people to recognise for voluntary community service. However the payment of an honorarium or such similar monetary recompense will not necessarily disqualify people from receiving an award. To be eligible, the recipient should have undertaken outstanding voluntary community service with an emphasis on the degree to which people are actively engaged in their communities and may include their involvement in policy decision-making that affects them. It is important that you give as much detail as possible about what your nominee has achieved, which makes them stand out against others.

As a guide, you may wish to consider some of the following questions:

• How has the nominee demonstrated service worthy of recognition?
• How has the nominee’s contribution impacted on a particular field, locality, group or community?
• Over what period of time has the nominee made a major contribution?
• Has the nominee’s contribution been recognised elsewhere (e.g. in the media, by other awards, interest groups)?

Background

Please provide full details of POST(S) held by your nominee, which support and are relevant to your nomination. Please give start and end dates (if known), or whether the person is still involved in this area of activity.

Letters of Support

Letters that endorse the nominee’s contribution from people who are familiar with his or her service, may be included. They should be attached below:
