Deadline for online nominations is 5pm, Sunday 21st February 2021.

Do you know an outstanding young person whose effort and achievement deserves recognition? Or a real ‘tryer’ who shows commitment and resolve and never makes a fuss? Nominate them for a Tryangle Award 2021 which is now in its sixteenth year!

Worcestershire’s premier annual young people awards celebrate the efforts of those, who despite health, disability or social problems manage to overcome adversity and ‘get the job done’, at home, at school or college, or within the community.

We believe such effort, commitment and determination should not go unrecognised, so if you work with or have contact with young achievers, volunteers or carers, make sure you nominate your own unsung hero!

We know that this year, the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic has affected children and young people in many different ways. School premises were closed for a long period of time, meaning that pupils were working from home using remote learning. Youth groups continued supporting young people via Zoom, Skype, etc. Young people quickly adapted to the restrictions and some have been helping in the local community to deliver food and other essential items to others including neighbours, friends and family.

Others have held music concerts live from their homes to lift the spirits of people who have been staying at home under the Covid-19 guidance. Sports activities have also been carried out online, young people keeping fit at home, whilst raising money for various charities that have been helping others throughout this difficult time.

This year we have all had to adapt to the new way of doing things to keep ourselves and others safe. This has been a challenge for many who suffer from anxiety and other medical issues, but we know that the community spirit that has prevailed throughout Worcestershire is all down to the selflessness of young people and adult volunteers.

Award Categories
You can nominate young people in the following 6 categories:

• Bravery
• Arts and Music
• Sports
• Good Friends and Carers
• Citizenship and Environment
• Personal Development

• Volunteer Award
  This award acknowledges the outstanding contribution that adult volunteers make to our clubs and organisations; celebrating the special or remarkable who make a real difference to the young people in Worcestershire.

All nominees receive a certificate of recognition of their achievement. The most outstanding in each category can also be nominated to receive a Tryangle Award, which are presented at a special gala awards ceremony in March 2021. (Subject to COVID restrictions in place at that time.  If we are unable to hold the Awards Evening recipients will be presented with their trophy and certificate via a safe personal presentation.)

Any ‘tryer’ aged 11-19 or up to 24 with a disability, who has not previously received a Tryangle Award within the same category can be nominated for a young person’s award. Any volunteer aged over 18 can be nominated for the adult’s award.

Nominations have now closed, thank you.

Nominations close at 5pm on Sunday 21st February 2021.
