The Acumen People Awards set out to recognise and showcase 7 – 17 year olds within your local community who have gone above and beyond and had a positive impact on the lives around them.
Nominate someone for their chance to win a place at our prestigious awards today!
You can nominate yourself or a friend, student, sibling, child or anyone else who fits the age criteria for an Acumen People Award.
Each nomination will be reviewed by our expert panel of judges and marked using a set formula, therefore it’s important that you read through and answer each question carefully.
Finalists will be revealed in early May and will be invited to attend our prestigious awards ceremony at The Old Ship Hotel on Friday 9th June 2023, where each winner will be announced and presented with a certificate and trophy of recognition along with two tickets to Brighton’s iconic i360.
