The 2009 Children & Young People Now Awards recognise and celebrate the innovative and inspiring initiatives undertaken by professionals who are working to improve the life chances of children and young people.
Arts Award is proud to sponsor the Arts and Culture Award for the initiative that has done the most to inspire children and young people in cultural activities, especially among disadvantaged groups. The judges are looking particularly for entries where children and young people have played a leading role in delivering the activity which fits with the spirit of Arts Award.
Arts Award is being delivered in nearly all local authorities in England in a range of settings from youth projects to schools to arts and cultural organisations. Arts Award offers recognition and motivation for young people’s arts activities and it is now embedded in a wide range of projects and programmes... It is our vision that these projects will receive recognition through the 2009 Children & Young People Now Awards.
