The Talented Young Person of the month award has been set up by the Talented Young People organisation to recognise young people who are excelling with their talent.

The awards aren't just about the amount of money they are earning or the notoriety someone has the judging is done on an individual basis and is based on criteria such as improvement, level, impact and dedication. As well as recognizing household names we want to also recognise talented young people who don't get the amount of attention that famous young people do.

Once we have selected our Top 5 it is then up to you our visitors to vote on who you think deserves to be this months Talented Young Person.

If you know of somebody you think should be nominated for the monthly top 5 then please get in touch through our Contact Page. For information on past winners and nominees click here.
