A national charity is urging people in Aberdeen to nominate the most inspiring youngsters in the city for a range of awards.
Young Scot has opened its entries for the 2016 Young Scot Awards, which aim to recognise the achievements of young people aged between 11 and 26 who have been doing extraordinary work to improve the lives of others and their local communities.
The awards, which are now in their eleventh year, is Scotland’s biggest celebration of young people with its purpose being to celebrate contributions and work across a wide range of volunteering projects, community enterprises, diversity schemes and enterprise and education initiatives.
From hundreds of entries, three finalists will be chosen in each of the 12 categories.
The winners will be announced at the Edinburgh International Conference Centre on April 27.
Louise Macdonald, Chief Executive of Young Scot, said: “We meet extraordinary young people achieving incredible things every single day and the awards are a chance to celebrate their amazing achievements.
“From overcoming adversity to helping people who are less fortunate, the stories of our young Scots never fail to impress us.
“Young people’s hard work deserves to be recognised and everyone can make a nomination.”
Previous winners include Andy Murray, Paul Brannigan, Craig Weir, Paulo Nutini, Amy Macdonald and the late Jak Trueman.
Anyone is able to make a nomination at youngscotawards.com before the deadline closes on February 24.
