Enter the CYP Now Awards and take your chance to shine

Now in their ninth year, there are 21 categories recognising excellence among services, protects, teams and individuals. It is free to enter and the deadline for entries is 4 July.

Entries must be submitted online at www.cypnowawards.com, where you will also find details of categories and criteria. You can log in to add and amend entries at any time up until the closing date. You can also upload supporting materials to your online entry, or post them separately to us, stating clearly the entry it is accompanying.

We have introduced two new categories this year: the Young Carers award, for the initiative that has made the biggest contribution in improving outcomes for young people who care for a relative or friend; and the Leaving Care award, for services for young people leaving the care system.

This year’s gala awards ceremony will take place at the stylish Grand Connaught Rooms in Covent Garden, central London, on the evening of Thursday 20 November.

If your organisation is interested in discussing sponsorship of one of the award categories, contact james.cockburn@markallengroup.com.
