IRVINE and Kilwinning MSP Margaret Burgess is encouraging her constituents to nominate a young person aged between 11 to 26 years old who deserves recognition for this year's Young Scot Awards.
The Sunday Mail Young Scot Awards 2012, in association with The Co-operative Foundation, are asking for nominations to be submitted to www.youngscotawards.co.uk before Friday 26th February.
The Awards organisers want to hear inspirational stories, which truly reflect Scotland's outstanding young people.
The MSP said: "Over the last year or so, I have met inspirational Cunninghame South young people who dedicate themselves to helping others in one way or another.
"Anyone who can think of someone they know, or a group project, which deserves recognition at national level, should submit a nomination to the Young Scot Awards.
"There are a number of different award categories, including Sport, Volunteering, the Arts, 'Truth About Youth', Health and Enterprise, and the more local people or groups put forward the better.
"This is a great opportunity to flag up the good work going on in Irvine and Kilwinning, and to get local young people the credit they deserve."
Three finalists in each 13 categories will be invited to a glittering awards ceremony in Glasgow's Hilton Hotel on 26th April 2011, where they will mix with celebrities, politicians and other guests.
