Do you know an inspiring young person?

There's still time to recognise and celebrate the artistic and creative talents of young people, 13 – 19 years old, from across Leicester-shire.

This year's Leicestershire Lord Lieutenant's Awards for young people includes the Young Artist of the Year ( The Joe Humphries Memorial Award) category to be given to a young person who has demonstrated real skill, innovation, and expression in:

• Visual Arts
• Expressive Arts
• Literature
• Music

This particular award provides a fantastic showcase to raise the profile of the arts and celebrate the artistic talents of young people from both the city and county who are fittingly recognised by Lord Lieutenant of Leicester and Leicestershire, Jennifer, Lady Gretton.

The categories are Young Braveheart, Young Volunteer, Young Sportsperson, Young Artist ( The Joe Humphries Memorial Award) and this year in a special category we are looking for a Young Poet to help commemorate the Centenary of the First World War through poetry.

The closing date for entries for the 2015 awards is 31 January 2015.
