Do you know a young person aged 11 to 26 years who has made a positive difference to the lives of others?

Nominations for the Sunday Mail Young Scot Awards 2012, in association with The Co-operative Foundation, are now open  and you only have until the Friday 26th February to share your inspirational stories, which truly reflect Scotland's outstanding young people.

Thousands of young people across Scotland regularly contribute to their communities through a variety of ways. The Young Scot Awards are all about celebrating their amazing achievements and challenging some of the negative perceptions of young people, we too often hear about.
