The search is now on for the next Mayor of Bath's Young Citizen.  

The Mayor of Bath (Councillor Shaun McGall) will be presenting an Award for Good Citizenship.  The Mayor’s Young Citizen will win £150 and be invited to some of the 700 special events the 783rd 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.

The scheme began 17 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 have been sent to all local senior schools with a nomination form, to be completed and returned to The Mayor’s Office, Guildhall, Bath , by 30 June 2010 .  Forms can also be collected from the Guildhall Reception.

Candidates and their nominator will both need to be available to attend a 15-minute interview in the afternoon of Wednesday 14 July and the Presentation Ceremony will take place at 5.00 pm on Friday 16 July in the Guildhall.

Last year 17-year-old Emily Catchpool (pictured below) from Hayesfield School was chosen by The Mayor for her work fundraising for charity.
