It is open to primary and secondary school groups, community groups and individuals and as well as recognising good community work it helps young people build self-esteem and develop an understanding of what citizenship means.

Details of the various award categories, along with nomination forms, are available at http://www.moray.gov.uk/moray_standard/page_61110.html

Nominations close on Tuesday, January 31 with the awards ceremony taking place in late March.
