There are just a few days to go until the final of this year’s 4Uth awards celebrating top youth talent in Nottinghamshire.

Seven district winners will be celebrated at the annual awards hosted by Nottinghamshire County Council in partnership with the Nottingham Post at an event on Friday, November 14, at 7pm.

The awards evening, to take place at the Old Library, in Leeming Street, Mansfield, will also see an overall countywide winner crowned. Thincludent is organised by the county council’s youth service. During the evening, guests will be entertained by young performers and musicians from County Youth Arts.

Coun Alan Rhodes, leader of Nottinghamshire County Council, said: “We had 63 entries this year which is one of the best returns we have ever had, reflecting not only the huge number of outstanding achievements by young people, but also how so many people are keen to ensure these achievements are recognised.
