Shortlisted finalists will be invited to a glitzy evening at the Capitol in June, featuring performances from local schools and colleges as well as the awards ceremony.

The County Times Youth Awards is backed by local schools and colleges.

Gary Shipton, editor-in-chief of the County Times group, said: “The young people of this district do some amazing things to make the area so special.

“That’s why we launched these awards last year - to recognise the huge contribution that so many of them make.”

The second annual awards follows last year’s inaugural event, which was a rollercoaster side packed with laughter, emotion, talent and tears.

It was a resounding success and a memorable night as the youth of Horsham were recognised. But we want this year to be even bigger and better.

You can nominate a deserving person or group for any of our 15 categories, covering a variety of successes from team sport to performing arts and entrepreneur to courage.

The suggested age range for nominations is ten to 25, but all nominations will be considered.

You can enter via a form in the newspaper or online here.
