Last year, Young Scot launched the very first Sunday Mail & Lloyds TSB Scotland Young Scot Awards and they’ve decided to do it all over again. The biggest bash of the year will be held in the City Halls and Old Fruitmarket, in Merchant City, Glasgow on Thursday 29 March 2007 and will recognise the many positive things that ordinary young people throughout Scotland are doing.

Every day Young Scot hears about, or is in contact with, young people who are doing amazing things for the benefit of their country and communities. From the Borders to the Shetland Islands, Young Scot wants to know about the young people who make Scotland proud.

These Awards aren’t about fame or fortune, but about achievements by young people aged 12- 22 in their own area, relative to their background.
