The Awards celebrate outstanding young people between the ages of 14 and 21 years. West Cork Gardai and SuperValu recognise that a lot of good work is being done by young people in every community in West Cork.
Awards will be considered for nominated young people who by their presence make their communities a better place to live in. In 2010 again we are also initiating an award for groups of two or more young people whose combined efforts have contributed positively to their communities. All nominees should be between the ages of 14 and 21 years.
This year the West Cork Garda Youth Awards in association with SuperValu will take place on 12th November 2010 at the West Cork Hotel, Skibbereen. There are 12 awards, 5 Overall award, 5 District awards, 1 Group award and also 1 Special Achievement award.
