Nominations for the Youth Buzz Awards 2025 celebrating Manchester’s talented young people and their achievements, are now open.
The annual event organised by Manchester Youth Council, gives the city an opportunity to spotlight and celebrate its extraordinary young people.

The awards are for Mancunians aged from 11-19 (or up to 25 years old if they have special educational needs or disabilities and/or are carers or care leavers) who help to make a difference in their communities.

They play a part in Manchester’s work with UNICEF UK to put children’s rights into practice and become an internationally recognised Child Friendly City.

Nominations can be made across ten categories:

  • Youth Project of the Year
  • Young Leader of the Year
  • Young Entrepreneur of the Year
  • Youth Voice or Campaign of the Year
  • Making a Difference Award
  • Young Carer Award
  • Championing Inclusion Award
  • Well-being Award
  • Community Champion Award
  • Outstanding Achievement Award

The awards ceremony will take place on the evening of Thursday, May 1.

To nominate a young person who has made an outstanding contribution to the city, complete the Youth Buzz Awards form  by March 9.

Councillor Julie Reid said: “Our ambition is to be a truly child friendly city by putting children and young people at the heart of what we do and we know that there are so many children and young people making a huge difference in their communities, so this is your chance to celebrate their contribution.

“It is so rewarding to watch these young people flourish and grow and carry the skills they gain into their future lives as they continue to contribute to the communities in which they live. If you know someone that deserves this recognition please don’t wait, nominate now, the process is very easy, and it could make a massive difference to a young person’s life.”
