Nominate unsung heroes for the 2021 Young Scot Awards
The countdown is on for people across Scotland to nominate young heroes in their communities for the Sunday Mail Young
Scot Awards 2021 – which recognises extraordinary young people who are making a real difference in the lives of others.
Young Scot is calling on the nation to shine a light on the outstanding contributions made by 11-26-yearolds in their local area across categories including volunteering, sport, enterprise, entertainment, equality and diversity, young hero and many more.
Nominations are open on youngscotawards.com and will close on February 14.
This year’s Sunday Mail Young Scot Award winners will join a prestigious roll call of previous recipients including Sir Andy Murray, Olympian Laura Muir, and top vlogger Jamie Genevieve.
Recent winners include actor Ncuti Gatwa from Neftlix’s Sex Education and the team behind the Scottish Youth Climate Strikes.
Last year’s winner Hannah Weir took home the Community Award in recognition of her charity spirit, having donated £120 to help her mum set up the Moray School Bank when she was just 10 years old, providing essential school uniforms and winter clothing to young people across the region.
Hannah said: “I was overwhelmed to have been given an award for the things I’ve done.
“It was amazing to be able to help other kids in the Moray community who may not be as fortunate as me.”
Louise Macdonald OBE, Chief Executive of Young Scot, said: “If you know a young person who impresses you, or someone who’s gone above and beyond to help others, then we want to hear about them. Make your nomination today!”
