Mayor’s Young Citizen of the Year Award
The scheme began 18 years ago to counteract negative publicity about young people by celebrating their many fine achievements. This individual award is for a 16, 17 or 18 year old who has made good progress at school or given service to the local community. Letters are sent to local senior schools and colleges with a nomination form.
The winner will win £150 and be invited to some of the 700 special events the Mayor of Bath will attend throughout the year. The runner-up will receive £50. To enter, teenagers must live in Bath, or attend a school/college in the city, or belong to a Bath-based group. Please click here for a 2012 nomination form.
This year Luke Majithia was chosen by The Mayor for his work as a mentor to younger children.
