To nominate your young stars, please visit www.ylawards.com and give reasons and examples of why the nominee should win the award. There are 8 award categories to choose from and these are open to anyone aged 30 years and under, working in UK higher education institutions. The closing date for nominations is 30 June.

✥ Sustainability champion – the eco-warrior striving to keep their campus green
✥ People pioneer – the team leader offering great guidance and top advice to their troupe
✥ Nifty networker – the outgoing socialite creating key relationships and opportunities with their cool communication skills
