The awards recognise the achievements of the youth groups and media organisations that have done the most to portray young people in a fair and balanced way.

Research conducted by Mori for the Positive Images campaign revealed that 71 per cent of articles written about young people were negative, while only 14 per cent were positive.

There are nine awards categories this year and the deadline for entries is 28 March. For an entry form, visit youthworknow.co.uk and click on "Positive Images".
