Young Person Of The Year recognises someone under 25 who has positively impacted the community. The nominee should have done something exceptional during the last 12 months, using a positive attitude and approach, making them a role model for other young people in the county.

This category is sponsored by Fun Harbour, Barry Island.

Judges in this category will be looking for individuals who have reached a goal, target or major achievement in the last 12 months, with actions that have made them someone to look up to for other young people.

Before making a nomination, we've put together a few hints and tips to help you in writing a nomination that will best reflect the work of your nominee.

Our tips for a top nomination:

1. Our judges won't know the person, business or group which you're nominating. Make sure you give the judges as much background on your nominee, their work and why they deserve to be recognised.
2. You have 1,000 words, use them. Our judges won't know of the work of your nominee, so its important you give them as much information, backgrounds, stories and highlights as possible. 
3. The awards are about celebrating the Vale of Glamorgan. Throughout your nomination, highlight to our judges how the nominee has made an impact on life in the Vale of Glamorgan.
4. Don't rush (unless you've left it to the deadline). Before submitting your entry, write it out in a document and send it to friends or colleagues, to make sure it is the best reflection of your nominee.
