Best Contribution to a Heritage Project by Young People

Best Contribution to a Heritage Project by Young People:

This award will recognise the contribution to heritage projects by young people up to the age of 25. The award can be for individuals or groups. Groups may include projects led by school or volunteer groups, social clubs or historical societies. Individuals, including young volunteers, university students and young apprentices are also eligible to apply. The ‘contribution’ should be towards a heritage project or place.

The type of building or place does not matter as long as it is historic – that is, over 30 years old, located in Northern Ireland. Ideally we ask that the building or place appears on a recognised heritage register. The building or place does not have to be listed or scheduled; it could be part of a conservation area or a local building of significant interest. This award will also recognise archaeological sites, projects involving parks and gardens.

Adults may enter an application on behalf of under 16s. The project must have been completed within the last 5 years. For more information on applying or nominating please refer to our guidance notes here. Read more about application or nomination via the Heritage Angel Awards Guidance Notes here.
