Fifteen finalists have been selected for Bath & North East Somerset Council’s inaugural Our Young Stars Awards, set to celebrate the achievements of extraordinary young people from across the area.
A panel of judges selected the finalists after reviewing 70 nominations received from family members, friends, teachers, sports coaches, and third sector organisations.
The finalists along with close family or friends will all be invited to a Gala Awards Dinner at the Apex Hotel in Bath on the 9th March 2019.
It’ll be an evening of celebration, including a three course dinner and entertainment; culminating with the winners of each category being announced and awards presented to all of the finalists.
All of the runners-up will each receive a certificate in recognition of their achievement.
Bath & North East Somerset Council Leader, Tim Warren said: “The response to our appeal for nominations was amazing and it was an incredibly tough job selecting the 15 finalists.
“Reading through their stories it is clear we have some incredible, courageous and selfless young people in our midst.
