The hunt is on for Yorkshire’s rising stars.
The 21st Yorkshire Young Achievers’ Awards recognise outstanding young people aged under 35 who have made an impact, nationally, regionally or locally.
The awards are backed by 2012 Unsung Hero Dr Kate Granger, 31.
Dr Granger is an Elderly Medicine Registrar working at Pinderfields Hospital in Wakefield and has been diagnosed with terminal cancer.
The Huddersfield-born woman has been hailed for promoting a dialogue about death and has vowed to use Twitter to describe her final weeks.
Awards chairman, Peter McCormick OBE, said: “We want to hear about young Yorkshire people who have made a difference.
“It doesn’t matter whether they are world famous or are known only within their own community.
“What is important is that they have had an impact because of their talent, fortitude or determination to achieve a better life.”
To date the awards have raised more than £950,000 for young people in Yorkshire.
There are seven Awards as follows:
Personality of the Year
Youngster of the Year
Unsung Hero
Achievement in the Arts
Achievement in Education
Achievement in Management and Enterprise
Achievement in Sport
Nomination forms for the 2013 Yorkshire Young Achievers’ Awards are available on the Awards website at www.yorkshireyoungachievers.co.uk or by ringing Sonia Jones at McCormicks Solicitors on 01423 530630.
