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 nomination form for Young Citizen of the Year 2012

This year Luke Majithia was chosen by The Mayor for his work as a mentor to younger children.
