Hearing Unheard Voices Campaign Awards 2011

Know a young campaigner or a group of young campaigners who deserve recognition for their work? Then why not nominate them for the Hearing Unheard Voices Campaign awards?

These Campaign Awards will showcase the fantastic campaigning work done by young people from across the country, highlighting their enthusiasm, achievements and impact.  The Awards are brought to you by UK Youth Hearing Unheard Voices (HUV) project, working to empower and inspire young people aged 11-18 to campaign and speak out to make real changes.  Shortlisted Award individuals and group representatives will be invited to the prestigious HUV Campaign Award Ceremony where winners will be announced. The Ceremony is on the afternoon of 29th Nov at St James Palace, Westminster, London.

To apply you must live in the UK and be between the ages of 11-25 on the 1st of Sept 2011. The awards are open to both individual and group applicants. There are 8 Award Categories that you can apply for and if you apply for more than one each application must be done on a separate form.
