The categories this year are Young Braveheart of the Year, Young Volunteer of the Year, Young Most Improved Sports Person of the Year and Young Artist of the Year (The Joe Humphries Memorial Award).
Individuals can be nominated by other young people, their school, parent or carer, as well as any other agency.
The finalists and their guests will be invited to a special awards evening and dinner held in May and hosted by the Lord-Lieutenant.
